The Nights is without a doubt replete with misogynistic and negative portrayals

The Nights is without a doubt replete with misogynistic and negative portrayals of women and warnings against their (alleged) duplicitous nature. Yet, at the same time, the Nights is not without its female heroines either, most prominently the main protagonist of the book: Shahrazād, the skilled and clever narrator of the Nights’ endless stream of tales.
For this assignment, you are being asked to consider and ponder the figure of Shahrazād. First, read the article by Malti-Douglas provided. The file is attached
then write an essay of at least 350 words containing: 1) your thoughts on the article and 2) your own view as to how the characterization of Shahrazād in the introduction to the Nights provides resources for modern re-imaginings of Shahrazād.
