Mario's thoughts on 1001 nights

The Mistress of the houses tail: Definitely my favorite. I would've loved to see why the women of the house decided to speak their minds even after the rule of the house was broken. I absolutely love these stories. The deep routed religious aspects are also a great contributor to the aspects of the characters. The purity of the Mistress was instantly shown when she asked for forgiveness too her God when her own innocence was taken away. The characters express their body so well. drawing back to when the porter was describing the women, their movements are sown and told to be lustful also. it is amazing to see how well this type of story can be conveyed. I didn't understand the line where the Mistress asked her husband to not change her sisters but that just made his power stronger. that just confused me.  

The resolve to the porters story: This was different. Mostly because it went from saying that the porter was a great story teller to having someone else tell the story. I felt very out of place. Also when i placed it in context to what was happening in the porters main story it really didn't attribute to the idea that the men were tied up in the house of the three women. The story just kind of expressed that there are good women in the world. That is what i got from it. It seemed strange but to an effect it would've probably resonated to the King listening to the tail in the main story. Though once that one is over it feels like it breaks the fourth wall and talks about the predicament that is unfolding in the main story. I just attributed this to the build to the end of the book.
