In the story the lady or the tiger At the end of the story, it isn't clear to which door the king's daughter will send the youth. What does the fact that it was a hard choice for the princess suggest about her character?

The fact that it was a hard choice for the princess to send her lover either in the door where the lady was or the tiger suggests that she is a woman of resources and determination.

Explanation:

'The Lady or thhe Tiger' is a short stort written by Francis Richard Stockton. The story predicates about a princess and her lover, of which her father, the King finds out about. As a punishment, the King ordered a trial of choosing a door of the two, in which one holds a lady with whom her lover will marry and another contains a tiger, which wil devour him.

The princess uses her immense resources of gold to know which door would contain the lady and which will a tiger. The lover had to choose the door for himself but perceiving that the princess will help him get to the right door using her resources. But the princess was described as barbaric as her father.

This hard choice that the princess had to make suggests that she, like her father, was hot-tempered and barbaric, a woman of great resources, who holds the power to either give life to her lover or death.

im just here for the points

explanation:

in the short story the slip-over sweater by jesse stuart, the main character and narrator shan is friends with grace, an intelligent girl he has known since childhood and with whom he used to be in love.

at the beginning of the story, shan believes he’s no longer in love with grace, but loves jo-anne instead. in order to buy a slip-over sweater and have jo-anne wear it so that the other students would know she loved him too, shan takes a loan at the bank.

while jo-anne is wearing shan’s sweater, his friend grace starts to wear another popular boy’s one, roy’s sweater. because of that, the other students begin to pay attention to grace and compliment her perseverance and effort. they admire her for walking 5 miles to school every day, despite the weather, and still getting the best grades. shan, who knows all of that for a fact, says, as the narrator, ‘and i knew she had the durability and the toughness of a storm-battered mountain oak.’ he compares his friend’s strength – not only physical, but also of character – to an oak tree, whose wood is known for being sturdy.

as the story goes on, shan changes his behavior out of concern for the debt he has to pay at the bank. his new girlfriend jo-anne never asks him what is wrong nor offers any sort of . instead, she breaks up with shan for not being as fun as she thought he was supposed to be. grace, however, not only asks about shan’s problem, but him make the money he needs. shan can’t but notice how different the girls are and what a wonderful person grace is.   even though he used to find jo-anne prettier at the beginning of the story, he now says, ‘grace was as beautiful as our mountain was in april, prettier than a blossom of wild phlox or a mountain daisy.’ his comparing grace to a mountain or something that exists on a mountain (such as a mountain oak or daisy) certainly has important meaning since shan loves the mountain and everything about it and he knows the mountain thoroughly. shan also loves and knows grace as completely as he does the mountain.
