RE: One Thousand and One Nights: Aladdin and the Magic Lamp: 33rd Night

in #story2 years ago

Wow! First, the Maghrebi is very versed with colourful language! He obviously has anger issues and follows them up with strong expletives. His hatred of Aladdin is too great or may be it's his greed doing all the talking! 😅

But can we fight against the judgments of destiny?

I'm afraid we cannot. I admire Sheherazade and her storytelling skills at this point. This chapter is totally captivating as it reveals the Maghrebi's brilliance and cunningness. I knew he's the main villain fit for Aladdin but the manner he went about getting back the lamp was unexpected and I might add, very smart!

Too bad Aladdin chose that day to leave the lamp on a stool rather than hide it. I think Aladdin became too relaxed at this point and took things for granted. It's like he totally forgot that he had an enemy that was still living and breathing. This is a lesson for me as well —never relax or take life for granted. Always be on your guard so that the things we value most in life are not taken away!

But then he resolved, at all costs, to avenge himself on Aladdin...by the possession of this magic lamp...

Possession of a magical lamp that rightfully belongs to Aladdin and not the Maghrebi? 🤔 I find this sorcerer's perception very funny. How does he go about exhausting so much energy and emotions on something that does not belong to him? That's why he's the villain. I admire his smartness and wonder how Aladdin will get back his lamp without exposing his true self to his wife and possibly the Sultan so they can rise to his aid. Next chapter please! 😅 Thanks so much for sharing this fascinating tale. 😊😊
