Explain Why The Tiger Who Came Out

Now, the point of the story is this: Did the tiger come out of that door, or did the lady?

Every heart was beating, every breath was held, every eye was fixed upon that man. Without the slightest hesitation , he went to the door on the right and opened it. The entire crowd held their breath, The door started to open slightly. Out came the… ferocious tiger! It was oh so evident that the king’s daughter would have been too jealous of him being with another beautiful woman. He felt betrayed and abandoned. The crowd let out a gasp, half the crowd cheered for the tiger, the other not so much. Obviously the crowd knew nothing of the deed the king’s daughter and the handsome man had arranged. Maybe they didn’t want to, a story of betrayal.

At the end of the story, “The Lady or the Tiger,” the man had a choice to pick which door. The main question is which door did he pick? The one with the tiger that would lead to certain death or the door that had the lady behind it in which he would have gotten married to. I believe the princess lead him to opened the one with the tiger. Even though she would have had to watch her lover die a painful death I don’t think she could have bared to watch him be with another. One other reason it leads me to believe she picked that one is because she was semi-barbaric, like her father. It even said in the story that she enjoyed watching them as much as he did. The princess knew the game and knew that if she picked the one with the lady behind it they would be happily married.

The lady or the tiger? My class has been debating to prove who is right in this situation the play was written in 1882, by Frank Stockton. It's a pretty interesting dilemma all going down to simplistics. Which was the most power, raging jealousy or undeniable love? Could someone be so jealous that you would do as much as murder? Or could your love for someone go so far that you wouldn't care who you knock down in the way to be happy? The facts given in the story strongly suggests that jealousy can and could overwhelm the emotion of love, that inferring, that the tiger would of been behind the right door.

Would one rather experience the pain of your lover being with another person or have the emotional suffering of their death? In the short story The Lady, or the Tiger by Frank R. Stockton the author leaves the reader wondering what is inside the door that the young man opens by influence of the princess. Inside one door is a vicious tiger ready to eat the young man while inside the other door a fair maiden waits to wed the young handsome man. The man opens the door of the tiger cage because of the princesse’s jealousy of the possible new relationship and the hatred of the fair lady.

The tiger did not much time to kill the tigress for no apparent reason. As per the zoo officials, the tiger was ready for mating. So his was the right time for the tigress to be introduced to the male partner. The tiger, on the other hand, did not like the mating theory.

In Paragraph 21 she describes how she felt when she imagined him running to marry the woman "How her soul burned in agony when she had seen him rush to meet that woman". This is a trait of jealousy which could give her reason to send him to the Tigers door. She also

In the story ‘The Lady or the Tiger’, there is a dilemma between love and jealousy. It is assumed that jealousy had gotten the best of the Princess in this story leading her to choose the door with the ferocious tiger behind it. Several times throughout the story, it is made obvious that the Princess hated the maiden that was chosen to be the lady, “ as her soul burned in agony when she had seen him rush to meet the woman with her flushing cheek and sparkling eye or triumph. This quote really emphasises the amount of jealousy that the Princess has for the Lady. This quote proves that the Princess ultimately could not handle the fact that her courtier could possibly become the husband of a woman whom she hated. In the story, Stockton seemed

In the story, The Lady, or the Tiger, you either got married or died. This interesting story was wrote by Frank .Stockton did a really good job of making you think .In the story there was a semi barbaric king whose ideas where polished and sharpened by the progressiveness of distant Latin neighbors .If you done something bad in this kingdom you didn’t get a fair trial you had to choose between two doors .The lady or the tiger! If you picked the lady you was safe, if you pick the tiger you was fresh meat!

The book I read for my I.R. is Escaping the Tiger. It’s about two girls, a boy, and their parents and how they have to cross a fast moving river without being shot by the Loas guards. They have to cross the river because they can live a free life on the other side where Thailand is. As they are crossing the river, they lost all of their stuff. When they get to the helpers house the helper could not help them. Because they had no sign of identification. They had to start over and get a new job, and jobs are really hard to

In “The Lady Or The Tiger” by Frank Stockton, jealousy wins the struggle against love when the princess points to the doorway with the tiger. Firstly, she gestures to the dangerously ferocious cat because the author clearly states the princess “hated the woman who blushed and tumbled behind that silent door.” This shows her hate for the lady is enormously great, and impossible to overcome. Additionally, the royal daughter is extremely anguished when she imagines the young man pushing open the wooden wall in which the lady was contained, running happily to her, and getting married “before her very eyes”. In this text, the narrator shows nothing could be worse than her lover getting married to another lady, not even his death. Finally, even though

The man(James)walked toward the door on the right, the door which the love of his life turned him towards. On the inside James felt very nervous because he knew that the love of his life (Jamie) was semi barbaric and could have the mindset of “If I can't have him no one can,” but on the outside he showed complete confidence. James walked up to the door and the stadium went quiet, he knew the moment he opened the door he would end up dead or married off in a way he did not want. He opened the door and to his dismay he saw the gleaming orange eyes of a tiger. Everyone in the stadium held their breath, as they knew James was about to die, but James noticed something different about this tiger. It didn't pounce out and kill him the second it

TAP, TAP, TAP. The rain pounded softly on his straw hat. The five-foot, ten-inch Tiger remained pacified, yet his muscles tensed by the second. He did not have time to deal with a bandit brigade. They surrounded him, four against one. All four of them seasoned combatants. Duddakub never doubted their skill in the first place. He knew immediately he had to be careful. His ember eyes judged their ragged garbs deceptive.

I. think that the tiger came out of the door because, love is stronger than jealousy but too much love can turn into jealousy. My second reason for why the tiger came out of the door was because her father was semi-barbaric which means she was taught in a semi-barbaric way so she might of felt like he betrayed her by her dad/the king finding out and killed him because of how she was taught by her father and that he was talking to the girl he might marry if he opens the right (not directionally)door. Think that love is stronger than jealousy but, as the saying goes”if I can't have him no one can”. So this means she loves him so much that her love switched to jealousy so there is more jealousy than love. My second reason for thinking the tiger

Similar to imprints on sand or carvings in wood, character is moulded and developed by indents - through pain and suffrage. In the novel, The White Tiger, Aravind Adiga explores the dark realities of India’s caste system with a story of a man who broke through the division. The quote by Helen Keller, “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved,” is seen through Balram’s journey as he overcomes obstacles to achieve his success. Adiga illustrates that one cannot see true light of a strong soul, inspired ambition and success, without the struggles of being in true darkness and
