Answer:
Explanation:
“The Lady, or the Tiger?” is a short story written by Frank R. Stockton in 1882. It takes place in a land where a king presides over court using chance to determine people's innocence or guilt. Inside of a public arena are two doors. Behind one is a woman whom the accused must marry if he opens that door. Behind the other is a hungry lion. If that door is chosen by the accused, the accused is considered guilty and will be eaten by the lion.
The king’s daughter falls in love with a man of lower status, and he is brought into the arena to choose a door. The princess learns which door has the tiger and which one has the lady, and she discreetly tells her lover to open the door on the right. However, it is never revealed what was behind that door, so we don’t know if she led him into death or into marriage with another woman.
