The Lady or the Tiger?

3 Questions:

1.What is the point of view?

2.What is the climax of the story?

3.What is the crisis of the story?


Facts about Frank R. Stockton:

1) He is best known today for his innovative children's fairy tales that were very popular during the last decades of the 19th century.

2) He was the son of a prominent Methodist minister who discouraged him from a writing career.

3) In 1860, he married Mary Anne (or Marianne) Edwards Tuttle.

4) He was quite frail as a child and was born with one leg shorter than the other.


Possible thesis statement:

The story revolves around two dilemmas:
- The first conflict is the external one between the young man and the two doors.
- The second conflict is internal involving the princess's feelings: jealousy or love?
