Read The Lady Or The Tiger?, by Frank Stockton

a. He did not watch the festivities.
b. He made his daughter in charge of signaling judgement
c. He said the criminals made their own choices, not him.
d. He was barbaric and just did not feel guilty.
Answer: c. He said the criminals made their own choices, not him.
Explanation:
The arena of the king was meant as a device of poetic justice, where a crime was punished, or virtue rewarded, depending on what was thought to be an impartial test. Given the chance to choose one out of two doors, the criminal would face either the punishment of a tiger´s attack or the reward of a woman to get married to. Whether they would be punished or rewarded was established based on their own choice, making the King feel like has no responsibility for the result.
Acobs creates suspense through the use of setting, foreshadowing, and purposeful omission. The story takes place at the White residence, which is relatively isolated and located away from the nearest road. This isolated location adds to the haunting atmosphere of the story and is significant to the plot. Jacobs also foreshadows the ramifications of wishing upon the magic monkey's paw through Sergeant-Major Moris's enigmatic story.
