Question

Do you think the prediction made by the state astrologer “was indisputably disproved”? Give reasons in support of your answer.

Hint:

Focus on the irony and symbolism in the astrologer’s prediction and its eventual outcome.

Answer 1

Yes, the prediction was indisputably disproved. The state astrologer predicted that the hundredth tiger would cause the Tiger King’s death. However, the Tiger King was killed by a wooden toy tiger, highlighting the irony of fate and invalidating the astrologer’s prediction.
