"The Lady, or the Tiger?" ending - reason

This blog post will be about why I wrote the ending for ‘The Lady, or the Tiger?’ as it is. The reason for that is that most people will only expect to see one of the two coming out from the doors. This is shown by the fact that there were people who were betting on what would come out of the door. This will also lead the reader to believe that only one will come out.

However, I wrote the ending in such a way that neither the lady nor the tiger came out of the door. Instead, behind the door, the tiger was attacking the lady. The reason for that is this: the princess could not bear for her love to be with another person, but nor could she bear for him to die under the claws of a tiger. However one of them had to come out of the door, and both would break her heart.

So, seeing as she had discovered the secret of the doors, she could make the tiger be behind the same door as the lady. The tiger would have eaten the lady, which gave her lover time to escape. Thus, that would mean her lover would not be with another woman and would not be eaten alive.

That is why I wrote the ending for my story in this manner.
