Summary for "The Lady or Tiger"

English
1 answer:
tiny-mole [99]2 years ago
6 0

[...] But the Man looks at the daughter and daughter tells the man to choose the door to the right. Then the apprehensive man looks the king right in the eye and refuses to choose any door. The surprised king asks the man why he refuses to obey the orders of his king and his princess.

The man promptly replies that because of selfishness and a concern for the princess's happiness he is unable to escape one of the doors. This is because if he chooses the door where the tiger is, he will be killed and his soul will wander the land without peace, until the love of his life, the princess, meets him in the Hereafter. However, if he chooses the door where a beautiful maiden is placed, he will have to marry a woman with whom he is not in love, leaving three unhappy lives. His life, for not marrying the one he loves, the life of his wife, for being married to a man who does not love her, and the life of the princess, for seeing her love with another woman.

So instead of choosing between the doors, he chooses to ask, dearly, that the king grant her the daughter's hand in marriage, thus preventing three souls from living in suffering.

The king, moved by the man's words and seeing his daughter's happiness, has no choice but to allow marriage.

What is one possible disadvantage of hearing the characters’ voices as opposed to silently reading the scene?
kondaur [170]
The one possible advantage of hearing the characters' voices as opposed to silently reading the scene is that it helps listeners keep track of which woman is speaking. Through audio recording as opposed to silently reading a play, it can also help listeners interpret the characters' emotions and motivations
