It will discuss how and why the West projected a view of the Orient that combined reality and fantasy, fascination and fear as well as admiration and revulsion when reading these stories. By looking at the tales’ influence on Western literary works, art and music, I will address the following questions: What made these stories so fascinating to people all over the western world? What role do these fantastical tales play in depicting the Other? How does Scheherazade’s voice represent the Orientalist female figure?
