If "The Lottery" were told from Mr. Summers' point of view, **the reader would learn more about how Mr. Summers feels about the lottery**. This perspective would provide insight into his thoughts and emotions regarding the tradition he oversees, as well as his motivations for continuing the ritual. It could reveal whether he has doubts or beliefs about its significance, and how he justifies the violence of the lottery to himself and the community. This subjective viewpoint would deepen the reader's understanding of the moral complexities surrounding the event.
