Final answer:
The story The Lady, or the Tiger? ends with a cliffhanger and does not reveal the resolution to the princess's conflict, leaving it to the reader's imagination.
Step-by-step explanation:
The short story The Lady, or the Tiger? by Frank R. Stockton presents a unique situation where a semi-barbaric king devises a system of justice in which an accused man's fate is determined by the choice of two doors in an arena, behind one is a lady and behind the other is a tiger. The story leaves us with a cliffhanger as it never reveals how the princess's conflict was resolved. The reader is left to ponder whether the princess would let her lover marry another woman or face a violent death by tiger.
