Having been betrayed by their respective wives, the brother kings, Shahriyar and Shahzaman, go on a journey which leads to their encounter with the young woman imprisoned by the jinnee and the conclusion that all women are treacherous. Hence, Shahriyar devises the radical solution of taking a virgin bride each night and executing her in the morning. This, of course, is the situation that Shahrazad steps into the frame story from which all the following stories succeed, as Shahrazad tells tales for a 1001 nights to save herself and the other young woman of the kingdom--tales the King evidently enjoys so much that he just can't bring himself to kill her, letting her live another day so he can hear the conclusion of one tale or another. But why do you think he opts for such a radical solution in the first place? In other words, what do you see as the real underlying threat that women (and female sexuality) pose to male power in the "Prologue"? 2. Shahrazad is of course the heroine of the Tales, but she is only one of many female characters. Even in the first few tales, we meet several others: the murdered wives of the brother kings, the young woman imprisoned by the jinnee, the wife of the Enchanted King in "The Fisherman and the Jinnee", the heroine of "The Young Woman and Her Five Lovers." Despite the very different sorts of tales in which they appear, do you see particular patterns emerging concerning the way women are represented in the Tales?
