The story of Shahrazad and the evil king is a frame story because it is a basis and a framework for all the other stories. Shahrazad is a passionate storyteller who uses stories to save (or at least prolong) her own life. In the frame story, we learn about her current predicament: newly married, she is about to share the fate of all the previous queens, that is to be <span>deflowered </span>and executed, unless she does something to prevent it. So, to buy herself some time, she starts telling stories. With every new story she comes up with, she knows she will get at least one more night to live. The frame story has one more function: it puts forward the storytelling itself, as a life-giving gift.

It is a literary technique that serves as a companion piece to the  story within a story. The Arabian Nights is a collection of stories by Islamic authors. Though each collection features different stories, they are all centered around the frame story of Shahrayar, Shahzaman, and Scheherazade.

Hm, this is a tough one. If you <em>use</em> this make sure to <u>rearrange</u> some of the sections and add in some of <em>your own words</em>, ok?


   Dante Alighieri was a very <em>untraditional</em> writer, for unlike most other writers he sometimes followed the traditions yet he wasn't afraid to deviate and modify the old epic traditions. Most epics tell the adventures of a hero of old who vanquished evil, and to be honest Dante does recount a hero's journey. There is a major difference though between his and traditions though, because he varies this tradition by making himself the <u>theme/hero/subject/ect</u> of the epic called the Divine Comedy.

    Epic poets were traditionally pagan and so they would often call on the Muses, known as patron goddesses of the arts, for their inspirations and to help guide their poems. Unlike them Dante was a Christian, and he refused to use the pagan gods <em>"gods"</em> in this epic. Instead he utilizes the Latin poet Virgil whom he calls <em>"my mentor"</em> and Dante's childhood hero Bice Portinari, whom he gave the name Beatrice as guides for the main character throughout the story.

    Epics traditionally begin in "media res" which is Latin for "in the middle." Dante follows this tradition, although it's in his own unique way, by beginning the Divine Comedy <em>"halfway through the journey we are living,"</em> or in other words <em>"in the middle of his life"</em>.

    Many of the epic poems of this time period state the theme of the poem at the very beginning. Likewise, Dante begins to describes in the first stanzas of his poem his fear and disquiet but then he offers a vision of hope to the readers. He says that <em>"to describe the good discovered there / I here will tell the other things I saw"</em>.

<h3><em>If</em> you have anymore <u><em>questions</em></u> please be sure to ask and/or send me <em>a </em>friend request. I'm <em>always up for</em> a <em>challenge</em>. </h3><h2><em>Thanks!</em></h2>
