Talk:The Lady, or the Tiger?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I expanded the article to better explain the background and subsequent problem faced by the princess in the story, but it could still use some editing. Cvaneg 20:21, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)
nice story. I think the lady kills the dragon.

[edit] The Tiger?
- The Princess loves the suitor but will lose him him either way; furthermore she is MORE JEALOUS OF THE LADY having the suitor. Therefore she indicates the Tiger door.
[edit] Creative Writing Assignments
- Remember having to finish the story for freshman high school English class. My friend & I offered the scenario that there WAS a tiger behind the door, but it was a LADY tiger, and the man and the tiger got married, and they lived happily ever after...until one day the tiger ate the man for leaving the toilet seat up! -65.122.209.163 08:29, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Catch-22
I don't see how the princess' situation is a Catch-22 (as describided is the Catch-22 article) either I am misunderstanding something or the word have to be changed.ErnestC 15:37, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] If the king was stupid
Couldn't the princess be the Lady? That would make it an easy choice. But since the king selects the lady and he did not like the princess' mate I guess it would not happen. Still, I think it could be pointed out. But perhaps there is some subtleness that I did not get (English is not my main language) so that this was obviously impossible? (Like if a princess could not be called Lady) --84.55.112.254 19:38, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- I think it's because the story implied that the lady is already in the chamber at the same time that the princess is giving the guy the signal, so she couldn't (quite aside from social issues) also be the lady. --Gwern (contribs) 00:37 20 March 2007 (GMT)
