Mrs packletide's Tiger

  • 1
Mrs. Packletide 's Tiger is a humorous short story which focusses primarily on the lady character Mrs. Packletide 's fascination and obsession to hunt. It is an amusing narrative which transports us to the era of the British Raj in India. This story was written at a time when campaigns regarding awareness about saving tigers hadn 't begun.
 
The story begins with the character sketch of Mrs. Packletide who was swayed away by her dislike for Mrs. Loona Bimberton who recently got an Algerian Aviator and boasted about it. The only thing that could counter such kind of a success story was a personally procured tiger skin and a huge collection of photographs clicked by the press.
 
The story proceeds with favourable conditions to kill the tiger. It was so because the tiger had become very old and confined his territory of hunting in villages for domestic animals. Mrs. Packeltide has offered a thousand rupees for the opportunity to shoot a tiger without any risk. The neighbouring village gets to know about the news and accepts the challenge as it had a large number of tigers in it. The precious amount of a thousand rupees had spread all over the village.
 
Finally occurred a day when the villagers constructed a platform on a tree for Mrs. Packletide and tethered a goat to act as a prey for the tiger. For this task, she had appointed Miss Mebbin to accompany her so that the latter could be a witness to the entire incident. At last arrived the tiger which lied down instead of attacking the goat. Mrs. Packletide fires instantly and by mistake the goat is shot. The old tiger, being old and unable to bear the gun shot, dies of a heart attack.
 
This incident is the turning point in the story because Mrs. Packletide didn 't achieve what she desired and it was just a matter of chance that the tiger died. She was annoyed at the discovery but never exposed the fact to anyone. Thus, she, in a very confident mood, convinced people that she had actually shot the tiger.
 
The incident gains its popularity with Mrs. Packeltide 's pictures released by the press far and wide. In the meanwhile, we see Louissa Mebbin asking for some extra fund, partly because she felt underpaid and not appreciated appropriately and partly because she needed to buy a small cottage in Darking. She got the required amount of money because she was in possession of Mrs. Packeltide 's secret of not killing the tiger. The most surprising change occurred at the end of the story where Mrs. Packletide gives up her newfound hobby, big-game hunting. "The initial expenses are so heavy," she tells those who ask the reason for why she gave up big-game shooting. This is how the story ends
