In the short story, The Lady and the Tiger, the king of the land has a very interesting law. If you break a law big enough to get the king’s attention, you will be sent in front of two doors, one to death and the other to a bride and marriage. The uniqueness of this story can give the reader some puzzling thoughts.
A reader’s thoughts in the king’s policy could vary. One could think the king is insane or cruel, making an accused’s chances of living a gambling game. Another person might negotiate that it was meant to create fear so less laws would be broken, because nobody would want their life be put at the roll of a dice.
When I read this story, I observe that this strange policy was an interesting base to build the story on. One may think that the author wanted his story to rope the reader in, so he started it on an unusual base, and this was one of the most gripping to start on.
