Notes 3-26

Read Jill's blog

Summary of first half of Qamar Al-Zaman and His Two Sons

Like Sherazade who wants to live another day, Princess Budhir wants the story to go on so she deceives her husband.
She has the power of the story, so she has power over her husband.
Puts the husband through an educational lesson

Look at Milkshake Butterfly blog--feminist summary of Qamar Al-Zaman and His Two Sons

No coincidence is too improbable
To deceive people into the truth (Budhir as man proposing sex through gay poetry).
The importance of the moment of laughter--we'll talk about next time.
