How To Write An Alternate Ending To The Lady Or The Tiger
“The Lady or the Tiger” ending

The Lover chooses the right side. The crowd goes wild. What is it? The lady comes out and went up to the Lover and hugged him. After the emotional roller coaster, the Lover went through he just drops down and cries. The lady was confused but brought him back up to his feet. All the people in the arena came closer to the couple except the Princess. The people watched the wedding ceremony and laughed all the time. But for the Princes, it was just too much for her. She had to leave before people see her cry. At the wedding, all the Lover could think about was the Princess. He decided right then that someday he will get her back.

Five years down the road, both of them were unhappy. The Princess had cried herself asleep every night since the unfateful day. The Lover had been unsatisfied with his marriage and could not stop thinking about the Princess. He was still angry that he had not made his promise to himself yet, to get back his soul mate.

One day, in town, the Princess went to go get an apple from the market. It was a hard day for her that day, it was five years exactly that she lost the love of her life. It seemed like everything was bland and the Lover was her spice. But she wanted him to stay alive so she told him to pick the right side. She was thinking about all of this when she found a cute

I also wanted behind to be a lady because it shows that the Princess did not want to see the love of her life to die, she would rather have him with another woman than die. The famous quote is “If you love something let it free.” She let him be with another woman which hurt her, but she did it because it was the right thing to do. I think the Lover expected a lion because he thought that she wouldn’t want to see him with anything lady. The Princess would rather see him but be with another lady than have him dead because she “loved” him that

    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 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…

    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…

    In the story, “The Tiger or the Lady” by Frank Stockton”, a young handsome man, whom the princess was in loved with, was accused of committing the horrible crime of loving the beautiful, barbaric princess. Therefore, he was sent to the King’s Arena, where he shall be put to death. 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. If a person were to choose the door holding the tiger, they would be immediately eaten and considered guilty (1); but if the suspect were to open the door containing the woman the accused person would then be considered innocent, (2) and the two would then marry, having a celebration in his honor. His loving princess has directed him open the door on the right, but the question is which door is it? I believe that because of the princess’s barbaric moiety, jealousy, and hatred that she has pointed to the door with the vicious man- eating tiger with her boyfriend dying a horrible painful death.…

    The Lady, or the Tiger?

    • 454 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In “The Lady, or the Tiger?” by Frank Stockton, a woman, so distraught at the fact that she is losing her lover, ushers her love toward one of two doors. This door either contains a tiger, which will gruesomely maul him, or a woman who he is forced to take as his bride. The reader is led to believe that the woman points her lover to the door containing a ferocious tiger. A quote which supports the thesis that the princess had sent her lover to his doom is, “How often, in her waking hours and in her dreams, had she started in wild horror, and covered her face with her hands as she thought of her lover opening the door on the other side of which waited the cruel fangs of the tiger!” (Stockton 6). This quote illustrates how the hot-headed and semi-barbaric princess often dreams about sending her love to his doom rather than having to lose him to another girl. The princess thought that if she had lost him, then no one else has the right to have him. Additionally, “But how much oftener had she seen him at the other door! How in her grievous reveries had she gnashed her teeth, and torn her hair, when she saw his start of rapturous delight as he opened the door of the lady! How her soul had burned in agony when she had seen him rush to meet that woman, with her flushing cheek and sparkling eye of triumph” (6). This quote also explains how much agony the princess would have to face if her lover were to open the door with his future wife inside. The princess, through her selfishness, was not willing to see the enlightened look on her lovers face when he saw his future bride exit the door. Furthermore, “Would it not be better for him to die at once, and wait for her to join him in the future?” (7). The princess thought that she could be rejoined in heaven with the young man who she had fallen in love with because she knew that her father would never allow her to be with him again on Earth. She believed in the afterlife and I believe that she thought that he would be happier…

    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…
