"Who is behind each door in the Lady or the Tiger?" by Frank Stockton is a question that is up to each reader to answer. Nobody knows for sure which door leads to the princess's lover and which leads to the tiger except for the princess, and she does not tell us. What we do know is that the princess loves the young man who must choose a door. We also know that the princess is very jealous of the "lady" who is behind one of the doors. The princess has the power to direct her lover, but would she rather he be eaten by the tiger or spend the rest of his life with another woman that the princess despises? Is her love or her jealousy stronger? That is for you, the reader, to decide!
