Reflection about Alf Layla (The Thousand and one Night)
The thousand and one Night’s article is a reflection on the various aspects of life that people face in the social aspects of society. Though the article is based in an ancient setting in the Indian cultures and practices, the article also reflects in the various issues that affect the current state of the society and communities. The article uses suspense and curiosity in explaining the lifestyle and the issues that affect every person in society. I like the article because it covers all the various aspects that affect the lives of people in society regardless of their social status. From the article, people have various lessons to learn and how to deal with states that affect our lives.
The thousand and one Night uses suspense as a style to explain how society can be evil and deceptive, and also uses narration to give examples of the themes. The thousand and one Night’s central theme is Eroticism and sexuality. King Shahryar is distressed after he finds that his wife is having affairs with other men in the palace when the wife thinks that he is not around (Layla). His failure to be around the wife leads her wife to seek sexual satisfaction from the men around him, such as his workers. Out of distress, King Shahryar kills his wife and the slave she has been sleeping with and goes to his brother, also a king in another region. Shahryar then discovers her brother’s wife and her loyal maidens are also sleeping with the slave (Layla). Shahryar finds that his situation is not bad at all and that women are all unfaithful.
The thousand and one nights is easy to read and understand as it uses a simple structure and language. The article is useful in the reflection of the various aspects that affect our lives in marriage and social aspects like family matters and leadership. The article is a good text, and I would recommend various groups of people such as leaders, couples, and workers. From the text, I learn that everybody in the society has challenges in marriage, sexual satisfaction and Eroticism. From the actions of Shahrazad, I learn that sacrifice and love are ultimate prices people can pay to end oppression. Also, I learn that people should be cautious of the situations that happen to their close friends as anybody can face misfortunes.
