Question

What image of the Maharaja is reflected in the above statement? (Tiger King)

Hint:

When asked about character portrayal, describe traits supported by actions or decisions from the text.

Answer 1

The statement shows the Maharaja as an obsessive and superstitious ruler. He was deeply influenced by the astrologer’s prediction and prioritized killing a hundred tigers over administrative duties. It highlights his eccentricity, stubbornness, and irrational behaviour driven by fear and ego rather than logic and leadership.
