MRS. PACKELTIDE’S TIGER
 
 
Title: “ Mrs. Packeltide’s Tiger” is the story of how Mrs. Packeltide’s ego, vanity and urge to outshine others cost her a fortune and subdued her for all times to come. However it is through the medium of an unfortunate, old infirm tiger that the whole drama is enacted. This tiger thus plays a very prominent role in the story as it brings about a transformation in Mrs. Packeltide’s approach and attitude. Hence the author has rightly chosen the title “ Mrs Packeltide’s Tiger.”
 
Theme: The story lays bare the shallowness and hollowness of the so called sophisticated elite of the society who go about pursuing hazardous activites not to taste personal thrill and excitement but to impress people around. Having a weakness for publicity, they pose to expose themselves to risk and danger but in reality they use money power to ensure their safety and comfort while getting their false brave images built.
 
Message : The story conveys the message that those who consider themselves smart enough to outshine others often get outsmarted themselves. The actions of these manipulative people can backfire and reconcile on them. Thus before targeting anyone, one must not forget that even a biter can be bitten
 
LITERARY DEVICE
 
Oxymoron: An oxymoron is a figure of speech where two contradictory words or ideas are put together. This figure of speech is used to draw attention to apparent contradiction. Its usage gives a smoothness and crispness to the style of writing. Saki’s use of oxymorons in “ Mrs Packletide’s Tiger” like ‘elaborate carelessness’(of the villagers); ‘venerable herd robber’ (the old tiger) ‘immeasurably nearer’ lunch planned in Loona Bimberton’s honour); Miss Mebin’s disagreeably pleasant laugh’ enhance the humour of the story.

1. Who or what is ‘it’ in the present context? Why does it appear to be ill to the speaker?
