Question

Imagine you are in the princess's position. Your significant other is on trial, and you know the tiger's door and the marriage door. Keep in mind, behind the marriage door is someone you hate because you suspect he/she has flirted with your significant other. Do you choose to send your love to death or marriage? Explain your reasoning. Provide text evidence to support your choice.

Answer 1

I choose marriage.

Step-by-step explanation:

Even though I hate the other person, I would not want to kill my SO.

"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?

And yet, that awful tiger, those shrieks, that blood!"

I would not want to watch the one I love be horrifically torn apart before my eyes. I would not want to hear the screams, see the blood, ect.

And even so, since I am just like my father, the "semi-barbaric king" would I not be afraid to take him back? If he is dead I can't have a chance. But if he is still alive, just married, I could have a chance to get him back. I could be barbaric and get rid of his wife, the person I hate. And then have my lover back.

This can't be done if he is dead.
