In "The Lady, or the Tiger,” which information about the princess is most important to help the reader decide whether she chooses the lady or the tiger?

The princess’s semi-barbaric nature is the key to predicting her choice. It suggests she has both passionate, jealous impulses and a capacity for love, so the reader must weigh whether she would save her lover or punish him for being with another woman. Her royal position, appearance, and relationship with the king do not reveal that inner conflict as directly.
