"The Possibility of Evil" by Shirley Jackson

Episode #33

Reading and analysis of the short story "The Possibility of Evil" by Shirley Jackson. Recommended for high school.

Honestly, no real content warnings. It's a disturbing story, but everything in it is subtle.

Analysis of plot, character, and theme, focusing on selection of detail as well as the use of dialogue, small town 1950's America setting, and narrative point of view to build suspense and central themes.

#9 in the Feminist Justice series.
