summary on arabain nights
Answers
The story of The Arabian Nights begins with Shahriar, a sultan who has just found out that his wife has committed adultery. Embittered and shocked, he decides that all women are evil and that the world would be better with less of them. So every day, he would marry a girl and have her executed by his vizier the next morning. However, the vizier’s clever and courageous daughter, Scheherazade, makes a plan that she hopes will save the rest of the women in the kingdom: she volunteers herself to be the sultan’s next bride. On their wedding night, she asks the sultan if she may bring her sister, Dinarzade, into their chamber as it is her last night alive. The sultan consents and a mattress is brought in for the sister. Dinarzade then asks her sister to tell her one of her famous stories. Scheherazade asks permission to tell her story to the sultan, and he grants her request. The sultana tells an entertaining story about a merchant and a genie, but as soon as she finishes, she starts an entirely new story. It is late into the night, but the new story is not finished. Wanting to hear the conclusion, the sultan postpones his wife's execution until the next day. The following night, Scheherazade finishes the previous story, but again starts a new one, forcing the sultan to postpone her death for another night. This pattern continues, however, for one thousand and one nights, with the sultana telling a new story each time. These stories often are told within each other as narratives of certain characters and often go off on tangents, leaving the reader in constant suspense. The tales often involve magical characters and objects, such as genies, flying carpets, and sorcerers.
