For example, one reason why jealousy overcame the Princess is because the lady behind the door was described as, “One of the fairest and loveliest of the damsels of the court.” (Page 342 Line 183). In addition, “She had seen this fair creature throwing glances of admiration upon the person of her lover, and sometimes she thought those glares were perceived and even returned.” (Page 342 Lines 186-190). This tells how the Princess is obsessive over her lover. The Princess also states not once, but twice how she despises the damsel. The Princess must have chosen the tiger due to her undying jealousy.
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”.

And get, that awful tiger, those shrieks, that blood (304).
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.
