“The Lady or the Tiger”
The tiger was in the door on the right. The princess allowed the commoner to be eaten because she was semi-barbaric and it wouldn’t disgust her as much as it would to people today. She was so jealous of that lady that she wouldn’t allow her to have something she herself didn’t have. She wouldn’t have been able to bear the idea of that lady and him falling in love. She would’ve felt that even a commoner had chosen that lady over herself. She would – and so would everybody else – be reminded daily of her failure. This way, after a while everybody will forget.
