I also have to agree that linking all of the stories together got really confusing-- especially at the beginning of " The Resolution of the Porter and the Three Ladies." I had to reread that specific story more than once because I couldn't really figure out what was going on and who was telling which story and why. There are so many characters and stories within the stories that we read that it became quite difficult to follow at times.
Whenever I think of Tales, I always think of the mystical aspects and the lesson that was taught. "The Mistress of the House's Tale" had both of those elements. The tale has obviously been passes down through many generations and all around the world. All of these elements were described very vividly that I felt the magical aspects. I found myself wanting to read more and more. I just couldn't put it down.
I think that the role of body is very literal through all of the tales we have read. From the passion and murders of "Shahrayar and Shahrazad" to the the love and transformation of the characters into animals in "The Mistress of the House's Tale." It's taken in a very literal and physical way and is presented in a way that is interesting and appealing to readers.
