When the princess is discovered with a lover who is of lower status than she is, the king holds a trial where the princess's lover must choose between two doors. One door will have a tiger behind it, and the other door will have a woman who is a worthy match for the man. The princess knows what is behind each door, and when the man looks to her for help, she gestures towards one of the doors. However, the audience does not know which door she tells him to pick. If she picks the one with the woman behind it, it would mean she loves the man enough to let him go and live, even if it is with another woman. If she chooses the door with the tiger behind it, it means she could not bear to see him with anyone else, and decided it was better for him to die. Hope this helps.

Answer:

In "The Lady, or the Tiger?," if the princess directs him to the door with the tiger behind it, she will do so because she is jealous of the lady behind the other door.

Explanation:

The question is not complete since it does not provide the options to answer, here are the options:

A) is jealous of the lady behind the other door

B) is afraid of her father

C) loves the young man so much

This story represents cruelty in any way it is analyzed, but it would be cruelty for the princess or her loved one? if she leads him to the tiger it is because she prefers to see him die knowing that is not gonna love anyone else but her than seeing him getting married to another woman, and even more the woman that she had been jealous from in the past.

How do the missionary first get the villagers in Mbanta excited about Christianity?
soldier1979 [14.2K]
Firstly, how could someone get excited about another saying there god is fake. It just made me giggle a little

Next, it would be the hymns. The bringing together of the community was a huge part of Things Fall Apart. God and stuff is all good and that. But they already had that. They had multiple gods. They had ways of getting around that were reliable for them. But the hymns brought them together like their wrestling tradition, it was a coaxing. A way for the missionaries to "incorporate" their traditions into the Christian way and make Christianity look appealing to the people of Mbanta.

I honestly love this book and all it shows from the perspective of the oppressed and colonized people, who were oppressed in their own country.
