Shahrazad is the Sultan’s current wife. When the Sultan’s first wife betrayed him and took a lover, he had them both killed. Ever since then, he believes that all women are betrayers. He marries a new woman each night and kills her the next morning. This continues until Shahrazad, the daughter of the Sultan’s vizier, volunteers to be the Sultan’s next wife. On the night they marry, she asks him if she could tell one last story to her younger sister before dawn. The Sultan agrees, and Shahrazad tells her sister Dunyazad an exciting tale, stopping at a thrilling point as dawn arrives. The Sultan allows her to live another day so that he can hear the rest of the story. This continues for two-and-a-half years.
