Humorous Wedding Speech: Guilty Or Not?
There I stand, in the middle of this gorgeous but extremely terrorizing arena. This is my fate, my love for the princess will be demolished no matter what, i either die or marry another woman on the spot. There are people all around me, all screaming like the barbaric people they are. I see the king, gazing at me with his mean glare, waiting for my choice to determine whether i am guilty or not. Why did it all have to come to this, i only loved my rulers daughter, yes she meant everything to him, but as she did to me as well. I’ve never really agreed with the king’s rules, but now i see how truly barbaric yet amazingly idiotic his ways are. Finally, the crowd dies down and the princess, the love of my life, enters her father's cabin. But there's something different. She seems excited, but worried at the same time. The king says a few words, “ This man has fallen in love with my daughter, and has had an affair with her behind my back, losing my trust,” he says in his booming voice, “ tonight, we shall see if he shall be punished or rewarded, through my famous trial, picking the door.” …show more content…
But, as i've told myself before, being married on the spot would have been good, if i haven't fallen madly in love with the daughter of the one has decided to punish me. Now's the time to choose my fate, shall a open the left door or right door, and which door contains which destiny. Desperate for an answer, i glance up to my beautiful lover. But then i notice, she is looking straight at me as well, and she seems to be trying to tell me something, but what is it. As i look even closer, i see it, he's telling me which gate to choose. Surly she knows best, “ i must let her decide my fate,” i think to

    Within this story, the royal family is given distinguishing traits that explain why the princess would choose death upon her lover. Because she is the daughter of a “semi-barbaric king” (Stockton 2), the thought of her companion getting eaten by a tiger might be more accepting than losing him to another woman. The princess’s uncivilized mind would overrule the appropriate decision, and choose the tiger.…

    The princess in “The Lady or the Tiger” struggles when determining the youth’s fate either consisting of death or marriage to another beautiful lady as she contemplates “Which [door to open. The answer is] as plain to her as if [the youth] shouted it from where he stood. There was not an instant to be lost. The question [of which door to open] was asked in a flash; it must be answered in another” (Stockton 302). The princess is forced to decide the youth’s fate in a split second. The short amount of time that is taken for her to make her decision suggests that her emotions may have overruled reason and could lead to her regretting her decision later in life. In a single second, lives could be drastically changed. Up until the last moment, the youth, that the princess had loved, believes that she will spare him; he has a blind faith in the princess and trusts in her choices. The king’s daughter’s heart is torn during this point of decision. She must decide whether she would prefer to see the youth dead or with the lady whom she…

    I think that the princess probably would have let her lover die. One soul or not, I don't think she wanted anyone else to have him if she couldn't have him for herself. Also, I say this because the princess loathed and despised the woman behind one of the doors, the woman who, if selected, would marry…

    The king is seen as very selfish in this lay. He has used his daughter as, “a comfort,” since his wife died. Besides the fact that he was incestuous, he was only thinking of his own pleasure and happiness. Did he ever stop to think of the emotional toil his actions had on his daughter? Furthering his selfish motives, he wanted, “to prevent anyone seeking his daughter’s hand.” The king wanted his daughter all to himself and would go to extreme lengths to keep it that way. Even if having the love of…

    This semi-barbaric king had a daughter as blooming as his most fluoric and fancies. And with a soul as reverent and impervious as his own. This means that she is just like the king but she is kinder and love and kindness overpowers anger and jealousy. And the fact she doesn’t want him to die because she loves him. And is the love of her life. And never wants him to die.…

    Because she is clearly in love with him, she seems to stand firm on her opinion that the thought of another woman being with him is sickening. Finally, the princess believes that it would be less complicated if he were to die so that she may see him again in the afterlife. The princess was repulsive toward the idea of the ‘young man’ being with another woman. Therefore, if he were to die by the hands (or paws; tee hee) of the tiger, then they could be together in the afterlife. Furthermore, it was illegal for a servant/peasant to be in love with the princess; therefore, making the decision easier. If the two lovers cannot be together while they were alive, then they could be together in the afterlife when the two of them had both passed. In conclusion, the princess signaled for the ‘young man’ to open the door with the tiger because: the princess was semi-barbaric and relished in the sight of blood/violence, she was more afraid of seeing the ‘young man’ with another woman, and they could simply be with one another in the afterlife (due to the laws that outlaw all romance between royalty and non-royalty.) So the next person that is to read the shocking story, choose correctly when given the honoring opportunity to select the…

    Throughout the short story “The Lady or the Tiger?” by Frank Stockton, tension and suspense are created by making the audience wonder what is behind the door. There is a kingdom in which the king always gets his way. He decide to create a semi-barbaric, yet civilized form of a justice system, where any person accused of a crime will be given the choice of two doors. One has a tiger that will viciously maul and murder the person, “proving” their guilt. One has a maiden behind it, and the accused is immediately married to this lady, no matter the circumstance. The king’s daughter has a lover, but the king finds out about it, and sends the lover to his trial. The princess knows which door leads to the tiger and which leads to the lady, and indicates which choice the lover should choose (the right door, which he chooses). The author keeps the audience in suspense by discussing, at length, the gravity of the princess’ decision, and the…

    This contributes to her decision. “Would it not be better for him to die at once, and go to wait for her in the blessed regions of semi-barbaric futurity?” --page 6. The princess out of a selfish heart thinks it would be better for her love to die now so she can meet him in the blessed regions.

    "Daughter of the King" is a moving stage play with an inspiring message of the amazing power of love and the art of self-forgiveness. It is a revamping familiarity of promise and recovery. The storyline bases on the King sisters' arrival to their late father's church for its annual homecoming/revival ceremony. The script tosses in for all intents and purposes issues that may touch the lives of black women. The sisters expect their usual family infighting and sibling rivalry; however, this year is seemingly different. A mystifying, majestic princess shows up and uncovers life-changing secrets that cause the sisters to find that they have more in common than any of them every thought.…
