1. The Accused: For this comparison, analyze some of the accused characters in The Thousand and One Nights and in The Inferno. How do the types of “sins” stack up against one another? Employ elements such as intention, violence, victim of sin (God, child, etc.)
2. The Righteous Princesses: Shahrazad and Antigone both put their lives on the line for a greater good. Compare and contrast their arguments for doing so. Additionally, what is it that they believe in so much that they are willing to die for it? Do they each succeed in their mission?
