One of the main characters in “The Lady or The Tiger” by Frank Stockhorn, was the semi-barbaric princess. From beginning, the unnamed princess had ambiguity written all over her, and it was generously displayed near the end of the story. The end started with the young man asking the princess in a secretive manner about who was behind each door, either the lady who he would get married too, or the tiger, by which who would eat him, including which door he should choose. The princess points to the right and the prince believes his lover without hesitation. He opens the right and the story is cut off there , leaving the reader with the question, who was behind the door? At that moment, we learn about the princess’s dilemma ; “She had lost him,

Throughout history, love and jealousy have been regarded as the two most powerful emotions that have played a huge role in a person’s fate or destiny. This is very true in Frank Stockton’s short story “The Lady or the Tiger?’’ Stockton’s princess character had vital information which led to her lover’s fate, however his reader was left hanging leaving one important question unanswered- what was his fate? Jealousy conquered love and was the strongest emotion which won out between the two. This led to the tiger coming out from behind the door, based on the princess’ semi barbaric nature.

In the story, “The Lady or the Tiger”, by Frank Stockton, a princess is forced to determine the fate of her soulmate by sending him to death by ravenous tiger, rather than letting him be wed to another. In this relentless battle between love and jealousy, the author says, ¨…and, with all of the intensity of the savage blood passed down to her through her long lines of completely barbaric ancestors, she hated the woman who blushed and trembled behind that silent door.¨ This quote clearly conveys the king’s daughter of having an extreme antipathy for the woman. This is why she would not choose her. The passage also talks about the nights leading up to the trial; ¨But how much oftener had she seen him at the other door! How in her nightmarish

n the short story “Lady or the Tiger?” by Frank R. Stockton , the author suggests that a temperamental princess was overpowered by her jealousy of another woman which consequently provoked her to lead her lover to his doom. To begin, the author describes the princess as “hot-blooded” and “semi-barbaric” in the line “Think of it, fair reader, not as if the decision of the question depended upon yourself, but upon that hot-blooded, semi-barbaric princess, her soul at a white heat beneath the combined fires of despair and jealousy”(241). This passage illustrates that the princess lets her emotions control her, including “despair” and “jealousy”. As a result, she loses sight of true love and sends her lover to the door behind which hides a man-eating

In “The Lady Or The Tiger,” by Frank Stockton, the princess didn’t ignore her jealousy when she tells her lover to choose the tiger. Firstly, we know from the story that she loathes the woman who is behind one of the doors with all her might, and how she would be a ¨great wife for the man¨. On the third page, the author states, “would it not be better for him to wait for her in the afterlife?” This shows that if the man dies, she would soon see him and they would be together in heaven. Lastly, the author states that the woman has “a soul as passionate and arrogant as his own.”

Women will do almost anything for love, to be loved, or to keep love. That is their mission. When women become jealous, however, the love they want to hold onto disappears, becomes selfishness, and one does not know if it is love anymore. In the short story “The Lady, or the Tiger?” written by Frank R. Stockton, a semi barbaric princess motions which door her lover, the accused man, must open to either receive punishment or a reward. The punishment is to be devoured by a fierce tiger and the reward is to be married to a lovely damsel of the court. This semi barbaric princess loves the man and chooses which door the man deserves to open. Like many women in love, this

In the “The Lady or the Tiger” , it states “ The question of her decision is one not to be lightly considered, and it is not for me to presume to set myself up as the one person able to answer it. And so I leave it with all of you: Which came out of the opened door - the lady, or the tiger?” This shows that Stockton wanted you to infer whether the princess choose the lady or the tiger which means that if you think that she choose the lady that you think that human nature is instinctively nice. Or, if you think she choose the tiger it means you think that human nature is instinctively bad. It also states in the story “The more we reflect upon this question, the harder it is to answer.

Questions have been raised on whether Chinese parenting raises more flourishing children than Western parenting. Despite what people think, in Amy Chua's essay “The Roar of the Tiger Mom”, she portrays the differences between the beliefs of Chinese parenting and Western parenting. Chua introduces the views of a Chinese parent compared to the views of a Western parent. The methods used by Chinese mothers in raising their children are drastically different from Western mothers. Each defends their methods and believes the other group is doing their job poorly. In the end, both types of parents just want one thing-- successful children.

Frank Stockton’s short story “The Lady, Or The Tiger” the setting dates back to Ancient Rome. Throughout the story the author gives hints to the location and time period. First, one sees that the distant Latin neighbors influence the king. “Though somewhat polished and sharpened by the progressiveness of distant Latin neighbors.” Roman cities spoke Latin as their language.

In “White Tiger,” this is where Maxine shows some sense of power for she implicitly uses first person narrative and puts herself in the shoes of Fa Mu Lan, a real Chinese woman warrior who disguises herself in order to rescue her village and fights off the thieves who stole from them, and makes herself the woman warrior. This was a journey of self-discovery for Maxine but interesting enough, the first thing the old woman, the one who trains Fa Mu Lan to become a warrior, tells her to learn “how to be quiet” (23). So basically the main asset, being the code of silence, joins together with what a woman is expected to do in Chinese culture. In Jane Donawerth’s novel “Rhetorical Theory by Women Before 1900: An Anthropology,” Donawerth discusses:

In the story “The Lady or The Tiger” a princess is forced to watch her lover choose his destiny. The king is described as semi-barbaric because he shows compassion towards the accused.

The man in the story finds himself in this situation after the king discovered he was having a love affair with his daughter. At the end of the story the princess is torn and she cannot decide if she should guide the man to life or watch him die.
