What happens in The Lady or the Tiger??
In "The Lady or the Tiger?" a barbaric king devises a particularly inventive form of punishment. When a courtier dares to love the king's daughter, he's forced to choose between two doors: one with a lady behind it, and one with a tiger. His ultimate fate is unknown.
Criminals and prisoners who have offended the king are taken before two doors and then forced to make a choice. If he chooses correctly, he'll marry the lady behind one of these doors. If not, he'll be mauled by a hungry tiger.
A courtier of low station falls in love with the Princess and attempts to woo her. This act offends the king, who punishes the courtier.
The Princess endeavors to discover which door has the lady behind it. Though she doesn't want the courtier to marry, she doesn't want him to die, either. At the fateful moment, she signals him to choose the right door. The story ends without the reader knowing if it was the right decision.
