When my father died, he left me a great deal of money. Shortly thereafter, I married the wealthiest man in Baghdad, and for a year I lived with him the happiest of lives.

Week 19 Blog
The Arabian Nights by Husain Haddawy Pages Read: 135-149 Words: 217
Summary
In this part of the story, Shahrazad continues telling her stories. The section I read starts with the twenty-fifth night, when she tells the Tale of the Enchanted King. This tale has a symbolic meaning, which shows that even if women sometimes can do bad things, they still are capable of solving issues. I read from the twenty-fifth night all the way through the tale on the fifty-first night. The tale on the fifty-first night is continued from a tale that has been going on since the fifty-sixth night called the Tale of the Envious and the Envied, which does not end until the fifty-second night.
Personal Response
Now that I have made it farther into the book I am able to enjoy the stories more. I understand the overall plot and the intention of Shahrazad to survive by keeping the king interested in her stories each night. The stories are interesting and remind me of the fairy tales I was read as a little kid. I assume these stories are very popular in that part of the world, just like the fairy tales we hear in our country are very popular. I know the story of Aladdin is one of the tales Shahrazad tells even though I have not gotten to that part yet, and that story connects the stories we hear in our country and the stories they hear in that part of the world.

O great lady, the story behind the shaving off of my beard and the loss of my eye is stranger and more amazing than theirs, yet it is unlike theirs,

Critical Analysis
The Arabian Nights focuses a lot on the perspective of women in Arabia. To demonstrate the importance of women in the story, Haddawy provides several examples of thematic ideas involving women. One example shows the independence of women. Shahrazad tries to show the independence of women to the king in the quote, “Still, I kept wondering that they were all women without men” (101). Shahrazad also tries to make the king realize that violence against women can be bad when she says, “Then he took the sword and stuck the girl, severing her arm from her shoulder and sending it flying” (121).

I will not have her put to death until I hear what happened to the old man and the demon; then I will have her put to death, as is my custom with the others.
