Explanation:

The short story "The Lady or the Tiger" by Frank R. Stockton is the tragic tale of a courtier who was put on trial for his 'illegal' relationship with the princess. The King had passed a law that allows for a 'fair' judgement for anyone who is accused of anything.

When the young man was put on trial for his romantic relationship with the princess, he was put through the same "semi-barbaric" way of judgement. On the day of the trial, he was put before two doors, one that has a woman who was to become his wife while the other has a tiger who will kill him.

When he looked to the princess for any hint of which one will save him, he wanted her to signal him the door with the woman. But the ending of the story did not tell us clearly what comes out of the door on the right that he had chosen.
