"We are all like Scheherazade's husband, in that we want to know what happens next"

- E. M. Forster

About this Quote

This quote by E. M. Forster is a comparison in between the human condition and the story of Scheherazade from the Arabian Nights. In the story, Scheherazade's hubby is a king who has actually wearied of his other halves and decides to wed a new one every day and have them carried out the next. Scheherazade, however, handles to keep her partner's interest by telling him stories that end on a cliffhanger, leaving him wishing to know what takes place next. Forster is recommending that people resemble Scheherazade's partner because we are always looking for something brand-new and interesting, and we are constantly needing to know what occurs next. We are continuously searching for something to keep us interested and engaged, and we are always searching for the next huge thing. We are constantly trying to find something to keep us on the edge of our seats, and we are constantly trying to find something to keep us guessing. We are all like Scheherazade's spouse in that we would like to know what occurs next.
