Explain how the author of “The Lady, or the Tiger?” managed to leave his readers uncertain of the outcome of the story.
The author told the story behind how the young man ended up in the arena, choosing to open the door indicted to him by the princess, who knows behind which door is the lady and which is the tiger. He gives some insight to the princess’s character, describing her as a jealous, hot-blooded woman who hates the thought of seeing her sweetheart devoured by a tiger - but also abhors the prospect of seeing him wed to one of her rivals. The story is ended by the author’s declaration that it is up to his readers and not to himself to decide which came out of the door the young man opened.
