The story mrs packletide tiger is a fancy story.it makes the readers laugh.give examples to justify?

Answer 1

Mrs Packletide’s Tiger is a sarcastic story in which the author ridicules the fake vanity of the British ladies with her biting sense of humor. Set in India, the story was written at a time when India used to be British territory. The story does not give any background on who Mrs Packletide is or what she is doing in India. It just revolves around her jealousy of another British lady named Loona Bimberton and the extent to which Mrs Packletide would go to show her down. Mrs Packletide’s problem is Loona Bimberton’s fame which is making Mrs Packeltide jealous and at last her jealousy grows to an extent that she cannot resist the temptation to do something that makes her more famous and well known that Loona. As a result, Mrs Packeltide decides to go tiger hunting. A series of comic events follows until Mrs Packeltide’s yearning for fame has died forever.
