So we’re supposed to make up our own ending to “The Lady or the Tiger” and I am not that creative. We are supposed to decide whether the princess tells the suitor to open the door with the tiger or the door with the woman. I want to be facetious and say that he opens both of the doors and that the tiger kills the woman so he can be with the princess. However, that is not a choice. It has to be one or the other.
In my ending, the princess tells the suitor, her lover, to open the door with the tiger. She would rather see him get eaten by the tiger than to see him marry the woman. She is a very jealous type and hates the woman’s guts. The author goes on for several paragraphs how the princess despises the woman and has even seen her love flirt with her. To see her lover and the woman together would be worse than him being dead. If he was dead, she wouldn’t have to worry about whether he loved the woman more or if he still thought about her. The princess would not have to see them together and would not have to suffer jealousy. Either way she can’t have him and she would rather no one have him.
