varied forms and situations. Some did this to escape from a situation and some to
alleviate their living situation. The story was set in Persia, where a lady’s lover is put into
jail. To help her lover out of the prison, she uses someone whom she thinks could help
her. She lures her suitors using her charm and beauty. In real life, having pleasant or
being beautiful was being used as a requirement for a lot of opportunities. There’s a lot
of people who get what they want because they are simply beautiful. In the story where
the five suitors obeyed the lady without them noticing it that they are being tricked, it is

were lured by what their eyes can see and act out of impulse without thinking first.

the couple has to work outside the country; the one left home find it easy to engage in
faithlessness by committing adultery.
