The story is set in an imaginary kingdom where justice is administered in a unique and unusual manner. When a person is accused of a crime, they are placed in an arena where they must choose between two doors. Behind one door is a beautiful lady, and behind the other is a fierce tiger. The accused must open one of the doors, and their fate is determined by what is behind it. If they choose the lady, they are considered innocent and must marry her, even if they are already in a relationship. If they choose the tiger, they are mauled to death.The central conflict of the story arises when the princess falls in love with a commoner, and they begin a secret romance. When the king discovers their relationship, he has the commoner put on trial in the arena. The princess knows which door conceals the lady and which one the tiger, and she must make a difficult choice.The story ends on a cliffhanger, with the narrator leaving the final decision to the reader's imagination. The unresolved ending has made "The Lady, or the Tiger?" a popular topic for discussions and debates, as readers are left to ponder the princess's choice and its implications.
