The Lady or the Tiger by Frank Stockton Questions

1) How are people punished or rewarded under the kings system of


justice?
2) Why is the young man put on trial in the kings arena?
3) What does the princess learn?
4) Why does the young man decide to open the door on the right?
8) What do you think is behind the door the young man opens: the
lady or the tiger? Consider there factors, and support your
answer with evidence:
the character of the princess
the princesss motivation for directing the young man to the
lady or the tiger
clues in the narrators description of the princesss thoughts
and behavior.
Watch for subtleties, or fine distinctions, which can tell you a lot
about a character, even though the meaning is often implied, rather
than stated directly.
