The story takes place in the older days way back then. The 2 main settings are the Harem and the bazaar. The setting affects the story by kind of setting the mood of how the story is going to go. It also affects what the characters do, what they eat, what they wear, what their religion is, and what language they speak. The settings important because it affects everything about the story and gives us signifigent information.
Marjan is the most important main character. I would describe Marjan as brave, risky, trustworthy, and kind. She is very brave and risky because she snuck out of the harem 3 times and she did it knowing she could be killed. A reason Marjan is trustworthy is because Shahrazad gave her lots of money, gold dinars, to get a story from the bazaar and she could have just stolen them and run , but she didn’t she stayed on task. Lastly, Marjan is kind because when shahrazad asked for her to help she did when could have said no she didn’t want to. The 2nd most important main character is Shahrazad. I think you could consider Shahrazad creative, bold, and sharp. Shahrazad is creative for coming up with stories and telling stories to save her life. She is bold for volunteering to marry the Sultan when no one else wanted to because he was killing off a wife each night. She is sharp when Dunyazad suggested a story to tell, but out of the hundred she had told she remembered she already told that one.
