Tiger or the Lady
In the store “Tiger or the Lady”the jealousy, reckless and powerful princesse ask her lover to die. The king in the story is crazy. He determines whether a person is innocent or guilty by luck. There are two doors. Behind one of the door there is a tiger and behind the other door is a beautiful lady. There is a guy who falls in love with the princes; however, the princess lover had been sent to the arena to decide if he is guilty or innocent by falling in love with a princess. Even though he survives he still has to marry a woman he never meets. Asking the prince’s lover to be eaten by the tiger is better for either the handsome man or the princesse.
In the beginning of the store, the narrator demonstrates how crazy is the king and his daughter inherits his personality. For example,” The Princess[s] was as wild and reckless as her father.”(p.g 146). This quote shows that she inherits many negative personalities from her father. The princesse gets jealous very easy, she cannot accept that her lover marries another person. Suppose her lover marries that woman she will kill both of them for sure. Second, the princess is the only one that knows who is behind the doors. The woman who is behind the door is the most beautiful lady in king’s court, and the princesse hate her. The princess had seen her lover talking to this woman once. It was just one minute, but the princess still became jealous. No one wants to give someone they like to who they do not like, same with the princess.
As result, the princess reckless personality will lead her lover to death. The princess would not care too much about that because she is jealous, reckless and powerful princess. Maybe she never thinks about what she will do after her lover die, or she might have another lover. Who knows it is her choice not her lovers.
