How would you characterize the people in these three particular stories from One Thousand and One Nights? Do any themes (class, gender, social, religious, etc.) emerge in the stories? Why do you think that is? What cultural norms are contributing to these themes?

***Your post should be a solid paragraph in length (as always a solid paragraph is roughly 5-7 sentences), which includes both your initial response and the responses to your colleagues. For all discussions you are required to respond thoughtfully and respectfully to one of your colleague’s posts. Your initial post is worth 10 points and the response to a colleague is worth 10 points, so give equal thought to both posts.***
