Choices and consequences are a subject that looks shallow from a certain angle, but if you view it from above, you’ll see the depth and the skewed perception and vision of the object. Responsibilities and consequences derived from choice and agency can vary wildly, and as a result, the relationship between the two sides can be directly connected, or extremely muddled. The justification for this statement lies in many places, daily life, the two passages, “The Lady, or the Tiger” and “Gladiators,” and even in subconscious choices. ”The Lady, or the Tiger,” a fictitious passage, has a realistic representation of choice and consequence, although it appears simple, inane, and obvious, it has an underlying meaning of choice and displays myriad quantities of control over it. This literary text shows the illusion of choice in its “poetic justice” of random chance.

But, it is completely realistic for the female creature to be attracted to elegant men rather than the hideous creature. Victor makes this point in the twentieth chapter; “They might even hate each other... she also might turn with disgust from him to the superior beauty of man; she might quit him, and he be again alone, exasperated by the fresh provocation of being deserted by one of his own species.” (179)
