The genesis of the saga of the ‘Arabian Nights’ apparently was in Baghdad in the 8th Century.The originator of the ‘Nights’ frame tale died after writing and orally presenting 480 stories.It was discovered by the Europeans who were extremely fascinated by its technique of narration. It’s an ‘Embedded Narrative,’ which has been used in variety of versions. The Europeans disseminated this frame-tale through out the world with each writer adding stories on to the ‘Arabian Nights’. Each story was either a new one or story-told earlier which was edited, retold or rewritten.The magnanimity of this frame tale is hard to be recorded as the whole world has been influenced by its uniqueness.Umpteen number of movies,TV serials and songs have been made.Innumerable amounts of books and comics have been written. Various literary genres have been applied to labyrinthine structure.The feature of ethereal and infinity addresses multiple issues in encapsulating the entire globe, be it rural or urban.Oppression of female gender has been expedited in this frame tale in which the protagonist Shahrazad fights and evades death through the brutal king’s sword gaining victory over the king’s evil traits by telling stories each night, leaving the story in suspense to be continued the next night. Eventually she get success in protecting the kingdom and emerges victorious
