Abstract
Myths are like stories that teach people things and keep cultural traditions alive for a long time. Myths teach us about things that happened a long time ago, as well as the customs and things that are important to different groups of people. So, myths inspire people who create stories and artwork. Sanaa Al-Shaalan was famous for using ancient tales to make up stories and create interesting characters. In this study, we use a way of looking at myths and a way of examining things closely to show how myths make the story collection called "Aam al-Naml" more beautiful and creative.
This study helps us comprehend the intended message of the writer. They tell made-up stories to make readers feel amazed and curious, or to make them feel nervous and unsure. Al-Sha'lan uses a made-up story and a partially made-up framework about our Lord the Water to indirectly show things. This story gets changed and changed a lot until it becomes very clear in the written story. This story was used to explain how women were treated in Eastern society and how things were unfair for them compared to men. The tambourine looked similar to the ones in the story of Pygmalion and Galatea. The story of Sinbad was easy to understand because the title of the story made it clear. The Cinderella story seemed different because Cinderella was not truthful and she took advantage of others to get what she wanted.
