The Villagers are the antagonists of the short story called The Lottery, which was created by Shirley Jackson in the 1940s.

Why They Are Evil

 * 1) They are infamous for killing Tessie Hutchinson by throwing rocks at her.
 * 2) As it turns out, they have been doing the killing people lottery for 77 years, as revealed by a character in the story Old Man Warner. Meaning they have done serial murder.
 * 3) They treat Tessie Hutchinson as a butt-monkey, as they kill Tessie Hutchinson after she ends up winning the "lottery"
 * 4) None of the villagers get punished for their actions for killing Tessie Hutchinson, making them Karma Houdinis.
 * 5) Overall, the villagers were very infamous for their actions. And as a result of the gruesome ending, the original story was received negatively and various hate letters were sent to the author of the story Shirley Jackson after it was published.
