Book Description | Scheherazade wanted the narrative to perform two functions at the same time: The first is to suspend Shahryar's interest in telling him stories, so as not to allow him to think about killing her. Thus, the narrative began to perform a defensive function. Every story that Scheherazade tells Shahryar is equivalent to life itself. Therefore, the more Scheherazade tells stories, the more chances she has in life. Narration is life itself The second function is to rid Shahryar of his narcissistic complex. Shahryar was afflicted with an incurable narcissistic complex when he saw his wife cheating on him. Therefore, he decided to take revenge on all women. He marries the slave girl one day, and kills her the next day, until there are no more women in the city. Hence, Scheherazade saw the narrative to fulfill the second function, which was to rid the happy king of the effects of psychological unhappiness that made him aggressive and passionate about killing innocent women. |
