Question
Answer the following question in 40-50 words:
Discuss the significance of the toy tiger in the climax of ‘The Tiger King.’
Answer in Brief
Solution
The significance of the toy tiger lies in its stark contrast to the dangerous live tigers the Maharaja had hunted throughout his life. Its role in his death emphasizes the themes of irony and fate central to the story. It illustrates that, despite human efforts to control or escape destiny, fate can manifest in the most trivial and unexpected ways. The toy tiger symbolizes the ultimate futility of the Maharaja’s attempts to defy his destiny and highlights the folly of believing that power or violence can overcome fate.
