The author's purpose in this passage most likely is to
build suspense
explain the moral.
introduce the main conflict.
reveal a character's thoughts.
It was the duty and the privilege of the person on trial to
walk directly to these doors and open one of them. He
could open either door he pleased: he was subject to no
guidance or influence but that of the aforementioned
impartial and incorruptible chance. If he opened the one,
there came out of it a hungry tiger, the fiercest and most
cruel that could be procured, which immediately sprang
upon him and tore him to pieces as a punishment for his
guilt.
