In at least one hundred words, explain how survival might be considered a central theme in the frame story from 1001 Nights.

In the story Sasanian the King of India and China, decided to marry a virgin every day and have her executed the next day, to avoid infidelity. The Vizier's daughter Scheherazade was forced to marry the king, because he was not able to find any other virgins. Survival for Scheherazade becomes the main objective in her tale telling to the king. Every night she would tell a story to the king and did not tell the end until the next night, therefore avoid her being executed, then the following night she would end the previous tale and started a new one and left the end untold. That process continued for 1001 nights.
