Ending for the Lady or The tiger.

When the door opened, the tigers sprang onto him with tremedous force. They growled at him and bit him on the neck. The princess looked away feeling remorseful but did not regret anyone of her action. The princess's lover cried in pain as the tigers slowly tore him apart... In the princess's mind, she was thinking to herself:" Why did she thought of killing him? Why did she not let him go by marrying another woman?" Then she thought again:" If she let him marry another woman and she would see them together. This it would her heart break... So, she would rather sacrifice the man she love than be mocked by the woman she hated. The princess's lover was then thinking:" Why did she want to kill me? Why did she choose the "death" door instead of letting me live? If I married another woman, I would leave her and be together with you! But why did you kill me? Was they meant to be with each other? Or was it a coincidence that they were together? What do you think? Comment on my blog please... Thanks.

The lady or the Tiger?

The tigers. I think the princess would choose the person she loved to be killed by the tigers than to see him marry the person she hated most. The jealousy and heart-breaking scenes she would get is more painful than seeing the person she love be killed. If he was killled, everything has ended and she would soon forget about him. If he was alive and married with the person she hated, she might see them somedays and she would remember about the day where she lost her loved ones and be sad again and so I think she would rather kill her loved one instead of letting him marry another woman.
