I just finished reading "The Lady, or the Tiger" for english class, and the ending left you hanging.
The author came out with two sequels, "His Wife's Deceased Sister," and "The Discourager of Hesitancy." If any of you has read either/both of those, could you tell me a little bit about it/them?
I'm just pretty interested to find out what happens.

"His Wife's Deceased Sister" has nothing to do with "The Lady or the Tiger". "The Discourager of Hesitancy", although it is a sequel, does not tell you what happened. Instead it gives you another puzzle to solve.
At the beginning of the story, a group of people show up at the kingdom and ask what was on the other side of the door. The king tells them a different story and asks them to solve it. If they do, then he will them whether it was the lady or the tiger. The story ends with the group of people still undecided on a solution to the puzzle.
If it helps, most of the people who read "The Lady or the Tiger" think that the tiger was on the other side of the door. I know how you feel though. When I first read "The Lady or the Tiger" I wanted to know what happened so much that I made a bunch of people read it and polled them to see what they thought. Hope this helps.

Of course the entire point of the poem is to show that either one could have happened, and in their own way, either one could have been good or bad.
I know it's frustrating, but the point of the short story is to show that neither ending would have been right or perfect. The whole point is to make sure you DON'T know what happened.
