Would you rather get eaten by a tiger or never see your family again? In the short story “Lady or the Tiger” there is a king who founds out about the man who likes his daughter. The kind is overprotective of his daughter and decides to send the young man to an arena where he has to choose between two doors. One of the doors has a man-eating tiger behind it and the other has a lady behind it. If the man choses the young lady he has to leave the kingdom to marry the lady and he can never come back. The king has many characteristics he is both loving and caring, but at the same time he is barbaric. I think the king is caring because in the book it says, “She was the apple of his eye, and was loved by him above all humanity.” (Stockton pg.3).
