Answer:
-
The central conflict in the story is an internal conflict within the princess as she struggles between watching her lover in the arms of another or watching her lover get devoured by a tiger. In ancient times, a king uses poetic justice to decide if a person on trial is innocent or guilty. IN OTHER WORDS, are man versus man, man versus society, and man versus self. While the king serves as the story's antagonist and the forbidden relationship between the princess and the youth serves as an example of man versus society, the story's most vital conflict is internalized, existing within the mind of the princess herself.
