With the opening scene of "The Tiger's Bride," the reader is aware that the heroine is seen as an object that can be bought and sold for her owner's pleasure and advantage. The key example of the theme of objectification is the heroine's father losing her to the Beast during a card game as though she were a mere possession. Carter uses the words "pearl" and "treasure" to demonstrate that the heroine is an object (157) . These words are considered compliments, but Carter reveals their objectifying overtones by having both the heroine's father and The Beast use them in the context of her sale.

This ties in with the tiger representing nature ("dwelling in a forest of the night"). By asking what Immortal eye, he is beginning to tell of the majesty of the tiger by insinuating that only an immortal hand or eye.
