The “semi- barbaric king” (1) found that this joy of human torture was most genial, bringing great pleasure to his hateful heart and empty soul. Now in this court justice system, if the accused were placed in the arena, his fate was decided by to wooden doors. Behind one door was a vicious, lethal tiger, and behind the other was a beautiful maiden.

    The princess in “The Lady or the Tiger” struggles when determining the youth’s fate either consisting of death or marriage to another beautiful lady as she contemplates “Which [door to open. The answer is] as plain to her as if [the youth] shouted it from where he stood. There was not an instant to be lost. The question [of which door to open] was asked in a flash; it must be answered in another” (Stockton 302). The princess is forced to decide the youth’s fate in a split second. The short amount of time that is taken for her to make her decision suggests that her emotions may have overruled reason and could lead to her regretting her decision later in life. In a single second, lives could be drastically changed. Up until the last moment, the youth, that the princess had loved, believes that she will spare him; he has a blind faith in the princess and trusts in her choices. The king’s daughter’s heart is torn during this point of decision. She must decide whether she would prefer to see the youth dead or with the lady whom she…

    Response To 'The Lady And The Tiger'

    I think that the princess probably would have let her lover die. One soul or not, I don't think she wanted anyone else to have him if she couldn't have him for herself. Also, I say this because the princess loathed and despised the woman behind one of the doors, the woman who, if selected, would marry…

    The Lady Or The Tiger Analysis

    Because she is clearly in love with him, she seems to stand firm on her opinion that the thought of another woman being with him is sickening. Finally, the princess believes that it would be less complicated if he were to die so that she may see him again in the afterlife. The princess was repulsive toward the idea of the ‘young man’ being with another woman. Therefore, if he were to die by the hands (or paws; tee hee) of the tiger, then they could be together in the afterlife. Furthermore, it was illegal for a servant/peasant to be in love with the princess; therefore, making the decision easier. If the two lovers cannot be together while they were alive, then they could be together in the afterlife when the two of them had both passed. In conclusion, the princess signaled for the ‘young man’ to open the door with the tiger because: the princess was semi-barbaric and relished in the sight of blood/violence, she was more afraid of seeing the ‘young man’ with another woman, and they could simply be with one another in the afterlife (due to the laws that outlaw all romance between royalty and non-royalty.) So the next person that is to read the shocking story, choose correctly when given the honoring opportunity to select the…

    What Is The Sexist Portrayal Of Women In Conan The Barbarian

    The film remediation of “Conan the Barbarian” remains loyal to the sexist portrayal of women in the original novels written by Robert E. Howard. The movie utilized revealing costumes in an attempt to voluptuously portray female characters. The costumes effectively outlined certain aspects of the female body that is considered appealing towards the male audience. Therefore, the erotic portrayal of women in this film primarily serves as eye candy. The princess in the film is portrayed as naive, innocuous, and fragile. Consequently, Conan is required to rescue her from the villain on numerous occasions. Clearly she is characterized as a stereotypical damsel in distress. Furthermore, The film also introduces the love interest trope when the…

    The Princess and All the Kingdom

    In the beginning of the story the prince fights and ravages his way across the kingdom, not caring what the princess wanted or what the consequences of his actions would be. The prince acts impulsively and doesn’t know consequences of his rash actions. All the prince cares about in marrying his one and only love, the princess. “Once upon a time there was a prince, who went out to fight in order to win the princess, whose beauty was greater than all the others’ and whom he loved above everything. He dared his life, he battled his way step by step through the country, ravaging it; nothing could stop him.” This quote shows the prince’s bravery and love for the princess. All the prince wants though is the princess’s hand in marriage and nothing else. He only thinks of himself when he is fighting and not of the princess or the people he will be ruling when he marries the princess. All of his impulsive fighting and selfish reasons for fighting blind him from the fact that he will have many…

    The Lady, or the Tiger?

    One of the reasons I think the tiger came out is because the princess is semi-barbaric.(Paragraph 9) . In fact, it seems to me like she wouldn't mind if her loved ones got torn apart by a tiger and eaten. Another reason is the princess was jealous because the lady was kind, thoughtful, full of laughter and fair.(paragraph 14). As we have read, the man had been seen with that lady in the past having a conversation, although the princess didn't know what they were talking about, as a result, jealousy finally took her over.…
