Characters
From my point of view, in this short story The Lady, or The Tiger?, the writer, Frank Stockton has included and narrated some of the characters. The characters are the people who responsible for the thought and actions in this short story. They are extremely important because they will help the readers to understand the whole parts of the story line through their actions. Each character has he/her own attitudes, mannerism and appearances or making it briefly, their personalities will greatly give an influence to the progress of the story line, starting from the beginning of the story until the end.

At the resolution, the writer does not tell the outcome of the short story either the princess has do overcome her jealousy towards the lady, and let her have him or choose the death for the young man because of her jealousy. Her jealousy will influence the outcome of the story.
The next theme is social status. From the beginning of the story, this theme already could be seen when the writer narrates the atmosphere and scenery of the kingdom with the life of the people. The social status here divides the royal family with the people. The serious relationship between these two groups is prohibited as this will give a bad image to the royal family. That’s why the young man is being trialled in the arena as his punishment when the love between the princess and himself has been known by the king.
Lastly, the theme that also can be interpreted in this short story is loyalty or we can said, blindly loyal. This theme covers up mostly the part starting when the young man has been accused and will be trialled in the arena. The young man loyal to the king’s command and does not dispute or argue about it. The people also blindly loyal to their king and no one questioned about the king’s command although they know that this is not fair for the young man.

The book is full of suspenseful moments that are sure to keep the readers on their toes. As far as theme goes, I believe that the novel’s primary overarching theme is that of man versus the wild. The wild being referred to here can be considered both natural forces as well as wild mountain men as well. The book essentially places urban life in a rural setting, and allows all chaos to ensue. Emotions of helplessness and weakness constantly influx the reader as situations arise in which they cannot do anything to assist the characters in trouble. One could argue that the definitive message and final takeaway from the book would be that as tempting and as peaceful nature can seem at first glance, it really is just as corruptive and dangerous as urban
The point of view of the narrative provides the aura of a primeval story, with classic fairy tale elements incorporated. “The Lady, Or the Tiger?” starts out with third person omniscient, where the narrator knows all the thoughts and feelings of the characters, leading to a fairy tale quality.

Without the slightest hesitation, he went to the door on the right, and opened it. Before the gate had even reached a foot off the ground the young lover, heartbroken, watched four frantic feet pacing back and forth and heard a deep, rhythmic panting. His mind frenziedly raced with dozens of thoughts: How could you do this to me? My dear lover, do you care but only for yourself? Someone must have forced her to tell me to choose the right door! What sort of fool am I to fall in love with the fairest lady in the kingdom?! What am I to do now? Run The tiger steadily stepped out of his dark cage, allowing the afternoon sun to warm his striped fur. He gazed first at the masses seated breathlessly around the stadium
In conclusion, the three most important themes to me in the story, abuse, fear, and karma are what made the story so good. He abuses her, she has fear, that he pokes fun at, and he is punished for his actions. Her greatest fear saved her from enduring anymore abuse from
James Hurst’s short story “The Scarlet Ibis” is about a kid named Doodle who is disabled and his brother is teaching him how to walk. His brother is ashamed of Doodle for being disabled. Then, his brother sets out to help Doodle how to walk. At the end, Doodle dies because of all that effort his brother made him do just to be like the others. The narrator has too much pride, and it causes him to hurt Doodle.
In this story, I have found that the themes that have stood out to me is gender and love. These themes have captured a major thematic idea by gender being discriminated against the women and the men. Gender is described as women being weaker than the men and men being the powerful ones. Love is described in this story as independent until it is found. Finding love is a part of life and everybody tries to find it but when it is found, it seems like you have lived you life to the fullest. These examples of the themes can be brought into the real world and can affect how people live their lives.

thematically by having the story and another that is behind it. The theme of the story is of one that is of love and how it reflects Shakespeare. The theme in it was love after grief.
