Reading Notes: [[Andrew Lang's Arabian Nights, Part A]]

[Some Spoilers]

Scheherazade-Levenkunst

1. Right away women were strangled! Ha! Not on my feminist watch! Change completely- Women rise up and come together to overthrow the Shahriyar. Scheherazade becomes the ruler of Shahriyar's kingdom and she rules the land with kindness and fairness. Leading by example the women began to stick up for themselves and the men see them as equals.

Begging for their Lives-SacredTexts

2. Wife turns slave into cow but instead of steward killing slave. He tells the first old man what happened (prevent slaves death). In turn the old man kills hi wicked wife and frees his son and the slave. Also, another idea, wife kills husband after he found out sacrifices him to a genie, who grants her riches and royal status.

Giving Son a Curse-ArtsyCraftsy

3. Son refuses witches marriage (after she frees him from his curse-Old Man and the Hind). She curses his happiness and makes it to where he has to live in solitude forever or he will be turned back into the calf he originally was. Emphasize loneliness and solitude...

Fed Up Fairy-Pinterest

4. Man finds fairy wife and the dogs finally turn back into his brothers. The brothers, fearful of the fairy wife, they reside themselves to do each of their biding. They have become humble and kind as the fairy's husband become greedy and mean. This angers the fairy, she must now teach her own husband a lesson (brainstorm lesson).

Parrot and the Wife-MythologyStories

5. Parrot tells a story about wife: Make up the story that caused her to be scolded by her husband. Make the parrot funny and humorous and his story completely outrageous that the husband had no choice, but to believe it was true. Cause a little argument between parrot and wife..(MAKE IT FUNNY!)

6. Ogress trapped man, the Shahriyar, and he dies. Very intricate plan put forth by Scheherazade and Dunyazad.
