        <description><![CDATA[Before you can begin to write your essay, you will, of course, have to have a good idea of what the conflict of the story "Lady or the Tiger" is.  On the surface, the story is about the conflict of the man vs. nature...that is the most powerful of the images (what could be worse than seeing the man ripped to pieces by a murderous tiger?)  But that's sort of a "side conflict."
The real conflict, the heart of the story, is the conflict within...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The king had devised a very ingenious method of punishing the criminals of his country. He had built a public  arena which the author Frank R. Stockton describes in the following manner:

"This vast amphitheater, with its encircling galleries, its mysterious vaults, and its unseen passages, was an agent of poetic justice, in which crime was punished, or virtue rewarded, by the decrees of an impartial and incorruptible chance."

        <description><![CDATA[Actually, it was clearly stated what is behind the two closed doors but he gives two other possibilities and scenarios to what was really behind these doors. He stated that behind one of the door, there could be a vicious tiger which would eat the captive alive and raw, which is seriously disastrous ending. The next alternative is meeting up with a beautiful lady, hand-picked by the glorious King, who will also be going to marry the accused...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Simply put, it means the king answers to no one.  He only consults with himself and it only takes he and himself (a literary play on words that means  he and he alone) to make a decision.  This undoubtedly goes to the barbaric side of his nature.  When the author tells us that it is the daughter of the king who makes the decision in "The Lady or the Tiger?" as to who will come out of the door, we may gain insight as to what will be on the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Nobody knows for sure, and we will never know! Isn't that maddening? The surprise, unresolved ending of the story has engendered many conversations about what the young man found behind the door. Did the princess love him enough to save his life by giving him up to another woman, or was she jealous and completely selfish? Would she rather see him dead than married to a beautiful woman whom she despised? The young man's fate depends on how the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The question of what is behind the door is left to the reader to answer. This ambiguity created a sensation when the story was first published and continues to vex contemporary readers. The only thing I've ever experienced similar to the literary frustration of "The Lady, or the Tiger?" was the final episode of The Sopranos, which ended in the middle of a scene and resolved nothing.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Stockton writes that if the "criminal" chooses the door with the hungry tiger,

"doleful iron bells were clanged, great wails went up from the hired mourners posted on the outer rim of the arena, and the vast audience, with bowed heads and downcast hearts, wended slowly their homeward way, mourning greatly that one so young and fair, or so old and respected, should have merited so dire a fate."

Because of the king's love for theatrics, the...]]></description>
