Given the background of the story “The Lady or the Tiger?” by Frank Stockton, one can easily tell that the princess-barbarian is in quite an ethical dilemma. If she points to the right door – where a lady waits to be married to her lover – she loses. Of course, if she points to the wrong one – where a ferocious tiger awaits the unsuspecting youth – she still loses. If you put yourself in her position, it would be truly difficult to choose her barbaric nature over love and that the author points out. Still, if the young man she loves marries ...
