Answer:

He wanted people to be creative and discuss how they thought it should go.

Explanation:

Frank R. Stockton's short story "The Lady, or The Tiger?" revolves around the story of a princess and a commoner and how their romance was deemed unacceptable by the king. And in order to make sure they do not continue their romance, the king put the man to a test- to make a choice between two doors that will decide his fate. The irony is that none of the two doors lead to the princess.

But Stockton did not provide the climax of the story. He left the readers wondering what happens to the young man. We are not told what door he chooses- either the door that will bring forth the tiger and get him killed or the door that will lead to a beautiful lady who will become his wife. And by leaving the conclusion to the readers to imagine and think on their own, <u>Stockton seemed to want the readers to be creative and create their own endings</u>.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
