I'm a bit caught up with these new chapters and am already on part 4. I need to go back to other parts of the story to understand why one of the Kings is doing this.
So, after reading the four parts of the story, I understood why King Shahriar treated women like this. And in the 4th part I got to know Scheherazade better. Now I understand why there was a 1001 Nights story. After all, this story is very broad and Aladdin's story is only a small portion. It's funny that Scheherazade's background is like this, I thought she was a boy at first; I made a mistake because she is a woman. Because I can't determine the gender of their name; I used to hear English names that's why I have no idea how to determine the gender of the names from other cultures.
Anyway, I think I understand why King Shahriar behaved this way. It's a tragic event in his life that he couldn't accept that's why he developed negative feelings about it. When a person views bad events in life like this, he develops bad habits. He used his hatred for his wife and heaped it on the virgin women of his kingdom. And he did this until the virgin women were exhausted until only the daughters of his Vizier were left. This is a tragic event, that's why I can say that he has really gone crazy.
Well, I'm curious how King Shahriar will be different when he meets Scheherazade. What will Scheherazade do so that the King does not kill her? How will she change the view of the King? That is what we will know in the next parts of this story.
