"The Lady or the Tiger" is about a cruel king. He has set up a punishment for the accused. In this punishment, there are two doors. One, is supposed to be the reward, a lady that he will be immediately wed to. The other the consequence, a hungry tiger. The idea is, you have no idea what each door holds. This time, the accused happens to be the king's daughter's lover. The man has no idea what is about to happen, although his lover has looked into the placing of each door. She motions for a certain door. The question is, which did she choose for his fate? The lady or the tiger?
This relates to our theme because the princess was raised in a certain way to make her more barbaric then the usual person. This may cause her to sway her decision based on the way she was brought up. This ties into culture because the way you are raised can change your decisions.
