The Lady and
Her Five Suitors
(Mimetic Analysis)
The
story is about the use of trickery for getting what you want and in the pursuit
of having what you love. This is one of the Arabian Literary pieces that shows
the real state of the world- full of oppressor and oppressed, users and used,
and players and played. In mimetic approach of analyzing the story, it started
with the presentation of the main character and her present situation. The
truth about this story is really happening in real life. Trickery is one of the
most common activities done by a lot of people in 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 also very common today.
People were using other people for their own benefits. People were lured by
what their eyes can see and act out of impulse without thinking first.
Generally, this is very common in our society, especially in the situation
wherein one of the couple has to work outside the country; the one left home
find it easy to engage in faithlessness by committing adultery.
