Answer 2

Hey fellow,

The answer to your question is following;

The chapter Mrs. Packletides tiger portrays her character. She was a woman who lived an elite life filled with bride and show off. She always wanted to come above all. That is why, she paid the villagers to arrange for an old tiger. She wanted to portray herself to be important and came off as selfish and self centered. It was the work of the fate that she missed her target and shot the goat instead. She had to face a lot of embarrassment and lost a fortune.

This shows that people who tend to be selfish and pretentious always end up mocked by fate and people. All their financial work goes to waste while all they received in turn of their self obsession is regret and a failed life accompanied with others hatred.

I hope the answer is helpful.

Thanks for asking.
