Answer:

this should help

Explanation:

The author of "The Lady or the Tiger?" never reveals what is behind the door. The princess indicates that her lover should choose the door on the right, however, we know that the princess—like her father—has a “barbaric” streak. Furthermore, we know that she hates the lady behind the door and is sick at the thought of her lover being married to her. Ultimately, it is left up to the reader to decide what they think emerged from the door—a lady or a tiger?Stockton, the author of the work, deliberately did not give us the "right" answer to this question.  Given that, we can guess and surmise and speculate; however, the answer is still, ultimately, a matter of opinion.Think about this people. The story explains about her barbaric nature like her father’s. We are also told that her lover “knows” her true nature. If these things are true, the princess would have directed him to the door with the tiger, but her lover would have known that. Consequently, he would have chosen the door she did not indicate, and he and the beautiful girl would live happily ever after.With all due respect, I think #3 needs to look at the quoted section of text more closely. " How in her grievous reveries had she gnashed her teeth, and torn her hair, when she saw his start of rapturous delight as he opened the door of the lady!" The princess did not want him to find happiness with anyone else. She had a barbaric nature, and she knew that the beautiful young woman had cast glances upon her lover, and she had perceived those glances to be returned. This would not been taken lightly, and it is safe to say it would probably not be forgiven. In addition, let us not forget the "savage blood" that coursed through her and the "barbaric" ancestry she came from, and the fact that she hated the woman behind the door. It would seem that due to her barbaric nature she would have not wanted her lover to find happiness with another woman, and so we could assume she guided him to the door with the tiger.

Now with all that being said, we are told also that her lover ". . . understood her nature. . .", so if that is true then perhaps he would know she might not want any other woman to have him, and he would choose the door opposite the one she directed him to. So if the lady came out, perhaps it was because he outwitted his barabic lover.

Usimov [2.4K]
Karl Marx spent most of his life researching at the British Museum on the nature of class society and the role of the working class in developing its own ideology of socialism whereby society will no longer be run by the bourgeosie but instead, by the advanced elements of the working class to serve the needs of the vast majority of the people, similar to what the government does in Cuba to provide basic free healthcare, education and such conditions as a lower child mortality rate than the US for example. Karl Marx and his partner in Britain, Friedrich Engels believed that the working class was born out of the socialized production of the Industrial Revolution wherein large numbers of workers were concentrated in single factories or mines. They also believed that the new working class was the most scientific class and the strongest class and most numerous in the history of the world and totally capable of forging a new people oriented  society. Marx died before the Russian Revolution in 1917.
Old Major, the boar in George Orwell's book, the Animal Farm, exhorted the animals to rebel against their human masters who were oppressing them. He died before he could see the success of the animals in this endeavour.
