Answer:
The character information the author most likely includes to help the reader understand the moral is:
A. the princess's jealousy
Explanation:
"The Lady, or the Tiger" is a short story by author Frank Richard Stockton. The daughter of a semi-barbaric king falls in love with a man of inferior birth. The king arrests the man and takes him to trial. Now, the king's idea of a fair trial is quite an absurd one: the person must choose between two doors. Behind one of them is a tiger, and behind the other is a maiden. If the person is lucky enough to choose the maiden, they must get married right away, and he is found "not guilty". However, if he chooses the tiger, that means he is guilty, and his punishment is to be eaten by the tiger.
<u>Since we are told the princess loves the man, we naturally think she will try to save him by pointing him the door with the maiden. However,</u><u> the author makes a point of letting us know that the princess is extremely jealous</u><u>. Just imagining her beloved one marrying another woman is enough to make her blood boil. </u><u>With this information, the author creates a dilemma for the princess as well as the readers. And this is how he leaves the story - not letting us know what she decides.</u>
