1001 nights is quickly becoming a piece of literature that i find myself really enjoy reading. To stray away from what i normally think of as tale, and immerse me in a world where there isn’t always a happily ever after, or when every thing doesn’t always end up good for the main character is quite appealing. Quite often I find myself gasping in shock in between the stories i read because of its raw story telling with no censor and its very climatic style storytelling.
. The story with the one sister and her other sisters was intriguing. It fought the simple lesson of learn your lesson. The sisters would always rebel against their mature sister and it ultimately led to their doom.
. By far my favorite story was the one with the two kings. Granted it was the first 1001 nights story i read, this was the story where i said “Wow , this is a tale”.
I certainly enjoyed the tale of the kings as well. It really opened up my eyes to what exactly we were in for, and I could sort of relate to everyone (save for the kings' wives, who weren't developed in a way that wasn't lustful).
ReplyDeleteYeah I agree with both of you! The tale of the kings was my favorite as well and it did really give us that shock factor and expose of to things that we would encounter later. All in all I did enjoy all the stories and was definitely different than some of the literature I have read in my other classes throughout my time here.
