Titelbeschreibung

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 as having a second function, which was to rid the happy king of the effects of psychological unhappiness that had made him aggressive and passionate about killing innocent women. "One Thousand and One Nights" is a book that was able to use imagination to transcend reality and herald an alternative mythical reality to create heroes and characters. But he could not care at all about satisfying the educated elite by interacting with the standard language used by the high official, which led to the collision of the two projects. Perhaps the most important thing in the "One Thousand and One Nights" project lies in the book's ability to create a flexible imagination that can claim completeness of experience and openness of insight. In the end, the book "One Thousand and One Nights" is a collective narrative dream that must reside in the collective memory, even if the individual memory is what renews it, because it is a dream that aspires to the completion of the experience and the opening of insight.
