In this document, you will find an advanced analysis of Frank Stockton's wonderful short story "The Lady, or the Tiger?" (1882) — ideal for teaching literature or for preparing your students for their final exams.

The document comprises...

• an introductory / post-reading podcast for background information

• the whole text with my annotations

• a whole range of typical question for analysing short sories: pyramid pattern, narrative perspective, stylistic devices, figurative language, interpretative questions

These questions encourage EFL students to think critically about the characters, themes, and literary devices used in "The Lady, or the Tiger?" while also helping them improve their language skills through analysis and interpretation.

Level: B2
