Like many women in love, this princess would not dare to let another woman take her lover away from her. Instead, jealousy takes over and the door that opens will emerge a tiger because she will go berserk to see her man happy with another woman, and will prefer to have him eaten by a tiger and await the princess herself on a heavenly earth. According to Frank R. Stockton, he states, "How in her grievous reveries has she gnashed her teeth and torn her hair, when she saw his start of rapturous delight as he opened the door of the lady" (150). Obviously, this describes her frenzied actions as the lovely damsel appears at the door on the right. If she leads her lover to the door with the damsel behind it, this princess will be green with envy to see him happily married to his reward, the damsel.
Ana Maria Negrete Mrs. Paquette English 10 (1) April 1st “Lady or the Tiger” The princess doesn’t like the lady and she is semi-barbaric which causes her to send her lover to the door in the right where the tiger is. I know this because in text says: “It was one of the fairest and lovelist of the damisels of the court (…) and the princess hated her”. This quotation shows that the princess has strong hateful feelings for the Lady and she doesn’t like her at all. Being semi-barbaric makes her be really mad at the Lady and just thinking about her with her lover makes her angry so that makes her choose the tiger. The princess jealous feelings are really strong that made her send her lover to the tiger.
“The Lady, or The Tiger?” The power of love is strong and compelling, and can affect your choices. In “The Lady, or the Tiger” by Frank R. Stockton, the Princess must decide her lover’s fate by choosing a door. There are two doors, one containing a lady, and the other, a tiger. The Princess must choose for her lover as he is being prosecuted in the amphitheater for having an affair with her by the King, her father. At the end of story the reader is asked to decide whether the princess or tiger came out of the door that the Princess pointed to.
The king's semi-barbaric method of administering justice was quite ironic. Behind one door was a beautiful woman hand-picked by the king and behind the other was a fierce tiger. We know who the lady is behind the door. We also know that the daughter really hates her as it says in this quote, “She hated the woman who blushed and trembled behind the silent door.” The offender would be placed in an arena where his only way out would be to go through one of two doors. Even though throughout the story we have only witnessed the princess as non barbaric, let et us not forget the "savage blood" that coursed through her and the "barbaric" ancestry she came from, and the fact that she hated the woman behind the door.
I know this because Lysandra still hates Elaine and now directs her famous, hateful poetry at her years later. Elaine proves this by saying, “The words claw out from the page like so many birds of prey. And all of them seem to be moving in my direction.” (73). Lysandra’s conflict with herself (inability to forgive and move forward) is a negative way in dealing with conflicts or treating your friends. I know this because Lysandra is holding a grudge on something that happened a while back that could’ve been a great friend-ship, she’s also famous now so why does it matter?
And so I leave with all of you: Which came out of the opened door - the lady, or the tiger (304). This is an example of ambiguity because the author is making the readers choose a decision, the lady or the tiger? It supports the theme because it shows that love creates hard decisions for us. Furthermore, the author uses the following piece of evidence to support this theme: “Would it not be better for him to die at once, and go to wait for her in the blessed regions of semi-barbaric futurity? And get, that awful tiger, those shrieks, that blood (304).
As a part of his Justice system, which was one such fantasy of his; he allowed the accused to choose one door from the two mystery doors built in King’s arena. One with a beautiful lady to marry as a reward and the other held the dangerous Tiger to punish the accused for his crime or guilt. The Story leads to an interesting plot when The King learn about the love affair between his daughter; a beautiful Princess and one of King’s Courtier. The angry king announces a trial of the lover in the Kings arena where a princess who has mastered the secret about what lays behind each mystery doors guides her lover to receive his fate. The story does not reveal what came out of the Right door.

PLOT SUMMARY "The Lady, or the Tiger" begins with a description of a semi-barbaric king who punishes criminals in a unique way. He has built an arena featuring two doors and the criminal must choose his own fate by selecting one of the two doors. Behind one door is a hungry tiger that will eat the prisoner alive and behind the other door is a beautiful lady who will be married to the accused on the spot. The people in the kingdom are very entertained by this. The king has a beautiful daughter who secretly loves a young man who is a commoner. The king does not think the young man is good enough for his daughter so he sentences the young man to be put into the arena to choose a door. The princess loves the young man and does not want to lose him to the ravenous tiger or to another woman in marriage. The princess knows which fate is behind each door and she also knows who the woman is going to be behind the door. She hates this woman. In the arena that day, the young man looks at the princess, expecting her to know which door hides what fate. The princess makes a motion toward the right-hand door, and this is the door her lover opens. The story stops exactly at the point he opens the door. It does not tell his
A great example of being punished for falling in love are Cupid and Psyche. Venus was so jealous of Psyche’s beauty she tried to put a spell over her and make her fall in love with an awful beast (Hamilton, 97). When that didn’t work she made her do impossible tasks (Hamilton, 102). Hera is another important instance of punishing for love. Whenever Zeus fell in love with a mortal she would punish that mortal extremely severely.
