“The Lady or the Tiger” Which Door?

In the story, “The Lady or the Tiger?” by Frank R. Stockton, the man opens the door and sees the tiger. The princess chose this door because how often, in her waking hours and her dreams, had she started in wild horror, and sovered her face with her hands as she thought of her lover opening the door on the otherside of which waited the cruel fangs of the tiger! But how much oftener had she seen him at the other door! How in her grievous reveries had she gnashed her teeth, and torn her hair, when she saw his start of rapturous delight as he opened the door of the lady! The man’s fate was decided by adrenaline leading to this painful death and agony which goes along with it.
