The Lady Or The Tiger

The story, The Lady or the Tiger?, is about a boy who falls in love with a princess. The princess and her father are both semi-barbaric. The king does not approve of his daughters affair.

You would not want to see the person you love get married to the person you hate. She would rather him die than be with the maiden. I guess you could say that the princess was fueled by jealousy and
