“The Lady of the Tiger” is a short story about choice.  A young princess has fallen in love, but the king does not approve of her choice.  The suitor is put in an arena with two doors.   Behind one door is a man-eating tiger; behind the other door is a beautiful maiden.  The princess bribes a guard and learns which door hides the lady and which door hides the tiger.  The princess has a decision to make.  If she tells her lover to choose the door with the tiger, he will be killed.  If she tells him to choose the door with the beautiful lady, he will have to marry the lady.  So, does she kill her lover or let him live to marry another woman?  I’ll let you finish the story!


Some themes for the story would be choice, love, jealousy, and faith in another's decisions.  I hope this helps!
