 | | Scheherazade was not only a fictional character but also a literary device invented to fill the role of narrator of the "frame" story around the tales, which include raucous, bawdy adventures as well as morality lessons and stories loved by children, like Aladdin and Sinbad the Sailor. | | | Her name was Scheherazade and her marvelous tales, a collection known by Western readers as "The Arabian Nights," have been a part of life in the Islamic world for centuries. | | | In the frame story, Scheherazade was the daughter of chief minister to a king, Shahrayar, who had been betrayed by his queen and turned violently against all women. |

| | Scheherazade, of course, never finished her tales, but kept her husband enthralled with story after story for 1,001 nights. | | | The story of Scheherazade provides the narrative thread between the tales, and runs as follows: Scheherazade was the daughter of the grand vizier to Sultan Shahriyar. | | | The former is the stern sultan; the latter is Scheherazade, weaving her tales. |

| | The Telegraph - Calcutta : Opinion |
| | Scheherazade undertook the most unique mission ever undertaken by either a subject or a storyteller — saving her life, and that of her fellow-citizens, through her body of stories. | | | There is, for example, a recent (1985) edition of Scheherazade’s tales illustrated by a German artist. | | | In this story of a subject bringing a ruler to his senses, a story of a storyteller reconciling her audience to the difficulties of continuing with normal life despite fear of betrayal, it is not a man, the sultan’s venerable wazir for instance, who performs the difficult task. |

| | Scheherazade has read the books of literature, philosophy and science. | | | For the first time, Scheherazade enters her own story and, with the Sheik’s help, loosens the evil grip on the hearts of the lovers, allowing them to love once again and fly the horse back home. | | | The Evil Vizier lies to the jealousy-prone King and whispers to him that Scheherazade has betrayed him in the arms of the Golden Slave, exactly like the King’s former unfaithful wife. |

| | The story of Scheherazade |
| | When King Shahryar married Scheherazade, however, she began a nighttime tale that she spun into 1,001 nights of storytelling, leaving the king so spellbound, he spared her. | | | According to the tale, the jealous king killed his previous wives because he feared they would be untrue, each time marrying them and killing them after one night. | | | EAST BOOTHBAY - In the tale of the Arabian nights, Scheherazade married King Shahryar and survived like no other queen because of her boldness, kindness and cunning. |
