Tiger or Lady

Interesting is what this short story is. There really is no way to decide how the story will end. The princess is making the decision for him and one can not predict how she will choose. I would predict that the lady would be behind the door chosen for him. As the story states, the human heart leads us to make our decision. Passion would keep the princess from killing her lover out of the fact she couldn’t bare to see him viciously eaten by the tiger. Many people during class actually discussed the idea that maybe the man would kill the woman that came out of the door and the princess and man would run away together. To me, this would seem very illogical, but could happen. Love makes people do crazy things. On a side note I didn’t really care for this story. It seemed that it went on in extreme detail that was not needed. Also, the ending explanation in the story of the human heart and how it describes how she might make her decision could be taken out. It doesn’t due the reader any good, because it basically states how she will make her decision. No imagination is left to the mind.
