One Thousand and One Nights

RIVAL GAMING - ARABIAN TALES SLOT REVIEW Today I decided to give Rival Gaming's newest video slot, Arabian Tales a try. I enjoyed playing this enchanting new slot game as well as its "One Thousand and One Nights" theme. "One Thousand and One Nights" is the story of King Shahryar who killed his wife after learning she had been unfaithful and then vowed to marry marry a different woman each night before killing her the next morning to prevent being betrayed ever again. He did this for many years until he married Scheherazade, who devised a plan for her survival which consisted of her telling Shahryar a different story every night but stopping the story in the middle so that she may live to finish it the next night and begin a new story.

most stories the Thousand and One Nights has portrayed female roles to be brave and powerful. Characters such as Shahrazad, the demon’s wife, King Shahryar’s first wife, and king Shahzaman’s first wife play a fearless role.

Scheherazade of “One Thousand and One Nights” is one the few exceptions. She was one of the first feminist stories of her time and of her culture. She gave power back to the women; and not with her body, but with her mind. “One Thousand…

Glossary,” Lewis Hyde suggests, “tricksters are ‘boundary-crossers’ who do not accept physical, social, or temporal constraints as real, and who seem deliberately to blur culturally fixed lines of distinction.” A perfect example of a typical trickster, in Hyde’s eyes, is Shahrazad, from “The Thousand and One Nights.” In this story, Shahrazad risked her life because she did not like the way one man was acting. If it were not for Shahrazad, this story would not come together or have the…
