Read The Lady Or The Tiger?, by Frank Stockton

How did the king keep from feeling guilty about this form of justice? *

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.

<u><em>Although Betty Parris later married and raised a family in Sudbury, Mass, there are no records indicating what happened to Abigail Williams after the Salem Witch Trials ended. “Abigail Williams, haunted to the end, apparently died before the end of 1697 if not sooner, no older than seventeen.”</em></u>

In many ways, the character of Abigail Williams can be considered a one-dimensional villain. All throughout the play while she's wrecking diabolical havoc on the community, she doesn't express any remorse for the damage she's caused and the lives she's inexplicitly ruined.
