The princess is passionate and semi-barbaric, but there is just as much reason for her to choose the lady as the tiger. The king’s daughter made the mistake of choosing a lover he did not approve of. Like her father, the princess has a semi-barbaric side. She is a very passionate person, and although she seems infatuated with her lover, she also seems mercurial. This semi-barbaric king had a daughter as blooming as his most florid...

At first it appears that the semi-barbaric king is the sole arbiter of law in Frank Stockton's short story "The Lady or the Tiger." His control of government in the kingdom is unquestioned: He was a man of exuberant fancy, and, withal, of an authority so irresistible that, at his will, he turned his varied fancies into facts. He establishes the arena to pass judgement on accused criminals and believes the institution to be totally fair in...

The semi-barbaric king of a mythical land in Frank Stockton's short story "The Lady or the Tiger" is, quite simply, a despot, a ruler with total power who often uses it unfairly. The king rules in a completely undemocratic fashion, seemingly ignoring any input from advisors. Once he has made up his mind, there is no arguing against him. His decisions are based only on his judgement and are final: He was a man of exuberant fancy, and, withal,...

The king believes the trial by arena (or choice of the doors) is perfect justice. An accused man determines his own guilt or innocence with one simple decision. Either he chooses the tiger and is promptly killed, or he chooses the lady and is married. The king was quite happy with himself over this administration of justice. Its fairness could not be argued. The accused carried the burden of determining his own fate: He could open either...

Chance is the decider of an accused person's fate in "The Lady, or the Tiger?" The semi-barbaric king of Stockton's tale has devised a means of "poetic justice" for those who have acted against his authority: A vast amphitheater has been constructed which has galleries around the circular structure, a mysterious vault, and many secret passages. Inside this impressive structure, crime is punished "by the decrees of an impartial and...
