The Lady? Or the Tiger?

1. I think the tiger came out of the door. Remember that she is a slightly barbaric girl, because she shares blood with her father. If it were any other girl, I would have thought that the lady came out of the door. Most lovers care so much for each other that, even though it would kill to see the other with another person, if it can so much as save their lives, then they'll pretend they don't care. We always see this in movies and books. The sacrifice of the lover. It would have been more reasonable to have let the lady come out the door. But she's not reasonable, is she? Her face was white in the crowds. Because she knew he was going to die. Her face would have been red or blotchy if she knew she were going to give him to another girl. Jealousy does not make you white.

2. The plot has a nice introduction, and sets everything up well. The events start going up hill when the princess' lover finds he has to go to trial. The climax is when she gives him her sign and he opens the door. But then there is no falling action, and there is no resolution. This story just leaves you hanging there, not knowing what the actual outcome of the story is. It lets you choose what you think. I hate stories like that. The father is a barbaric person. How could he do that to his own daughter? I think he cares more for his arena than his daughter. That's a really nice father... And a daughter with this kind of father would have obviously tried to hide everything from her father. She hides the fact that she loves someone, hides the fact that she knows which door is which, and hides even from her lover what she's going to do. The princess is a person of insecurities. She is only half-barbaric. The princess' lover, I think, is a very nice person. Can't even seem to think that his love would kill him. I feel bad for him. He gives his trust to her but she betrays it. Sad. There aren't as many figurative sentences in the story as I thought. Maybe because this story just gives you the bones of the story. It's not long, and it's not detailed. But it's a good story.
One example I could find:
"This semi-barbaric king had a daughter as blooming as his most florid fancies, and with a soul as fervent and imperious as his own." Simile.
