Which is the best summary of
paragraph 7 of "The Lady, or
the Tiger?"

Sagot :

sp3657

Answer:The Lady, or the Tiger?" is a short story by Francis Richard Stockton that offers a philosophical rumination on love and jealousy.

Criminals are placed in an arena and forced to choose between two doors. Behind one of the doors is an eligible woman. Behind the other door is a hungry tiger.

When the princess’s lover is sentenced to the arena, she sets out to learn what is behind each door.

The man's fate remains unresolved and instead readers are asked to consider whether the princess would rather see her beloved marry another woman or get eaten by a tiger.

Explanation:

Answer:

A semi-barbaric monarch finds his daughter (the princess) is in love with one of his courtiers, which is against the law. The "trial" occurs as follows: the adolescent is put in an amphitheater (a large arena) and is forced to choose between two doors in front of him: one leads to a tiger (which would devour him), and the other leads to another beautiful lady (whom he will marry). The princess is aware of which door has the tiger and which contains the other lady, and she indicates the right-hand door. We do not know whether she delivered him to the tiger or to the lady.
