The arena is massively entertaining, full of suspense. This is why the king only stages trials that interest him there, and why the people flock to witness the trials he stages. Of course, it is totally unjust: what if someone is placed in the arena whose alleged crime doesn’t merit the death penalty? Why should the innocent have the same odds as someone guilty of meeting with a horrible fate?
Notice that the respective aftermaths of the accused meeting with either the lady or the tiger are parallel: punishment, bells, and audience response. This emphasizes the ritualistic and theatrical quality of trial by arena, as do the hired mourners. It is, further, ironic and darkly comic that someone could be “rewarded” with marriage who does not want to be married, indeed, who looks on marriage as a punishment.
