February 6, 2012 (The Lady or the Tiger? Review)

Few days ago, I read the short story "The Lady or the Tiger?" I absolutely loved it. The story is that under the king's justice system, the one in the arena, has fate in his/her own hands. He/she either picks one of two doors. Behind one door, is the tiger, and get devoured by it, and behind another one, is a lady who will he be married to immediately, whether he likes it or not. This story centers on a young man who fell in love with the princess, which he gets put on the arena. He looked at the princess, which she had a slight handmovement to the right. Thus the man chose the right door. However, Stockston, the writer, simply leaves the ending as unknown. Ambigious. I realized that I absolutely adore stories with ambigious endings. Also, like the "August Heat." I absolutely love the plot and the ambigious ending.
