1. The tale that confused me the most out of the two was "The Resolution of the Porter and the Three Ladies" because I wasn't sure who was telling the story and how it related to any of the previous tales we've read until I went back and re-read it. In "The Mistress of the House's Tale", I was more easily able to understand who was doing the storytelling and it also answered questions that arose from "The Porter and the Three Ladies" tale.
2. "The Mistress of the House's Tale" explained why she was whipping the dogs in "The Porter and the Three Ladies" which was what I expected from this tale. In "The Resolution of the Porter and the Three Ladies" I did not know what to expect because the first story being told within this tale was one we haven't heard yet.
3. I think the body's role in "The Mistress of the House's Tale" is very prominent because of the way the mistress feels about the jinni, which is mainly involving his physical appearance initially because he a bird that turns into man, and how beautiful his feathers are. It also plays a role in "The Resolution of Porter and the Three Ladies" because of the described beauty of Su'ad.
4. These tales tell us that stories are passed down because of the retold tale "Shahrayar and Shahrazad" and the story told in the beginning of "The Resolution of the Porter and the Three Ladies".
