The Lady or the Tiger blog

i did like this story. what did she pick, the lady or the tiger? would she rather have her lover be eaten by a tiger, or be married to some bitch that she hates. in other words, would she pick to live with jealousy and hatred, or the despair of her lover being dead/killing her lover. it is hard to say what she door she picked. i honestly dont think that the story told us enough information for us to decide from this princess personally. judging from the human heart though, as the story bluntly says, what would the human do? save his life or have him be eaten by a tiger. if the women picked the tiger, than she obviously does not love her lover i do not think. i could be wrong, but i think it is just too selfish to kill someone because you cant bear to see them with another woman. it is presumed that life is much more precious than that, and should not just be thrown away. i really do think that if this woman truly loved her lover, she would save his life and have him be married to this woman. THough she would be in despair and jealous, atleast she did the right thing. atleast she saved a life. the answer to this question comes from the person that this lady is...does she truly have love and altruism in her heart?
i think this story tried to get really deep but it didnt. the last page of it literally discusses how this is a story of the human heart, and it thoroughly discusses the question it is being asked. it just kind of throws the whole story off, and makes it kind of tacky. i just wasnt very impressed, and it is hard to know what the woman would choose. it is a good question though i tihnk.
