Note: This response is in UK English, please paste the response to MS Word and you should be able to spot discrepancies easily.

(Answer) Nathan the Wise: Nathan is the benevolent father figure in this tale. We see him act as a guardian to Recha throughout the tale. The title gives us a clue about his wisdom. Also, he is an upright man.

Superstition: In this story, the good men often find themselves in murky situations. When they do, instead of acting hastily, they look for signs from the God they believe in. They are superstitious in a way where they look for “signs” to help guide their actions when they don’t know what to do. They believe in the tree of life allegory and all of us spring from the same mother earth.

Group A – Recha is a character in the story that has all the psychological symptoms of shell-shock or as it is known today post-traumatic stress disorder.

Gossip: Daja gossips and tells the templar of Recha’s situation. How she is a reared as a Jew. This is an offence that was punishable at the time and hence wasn’t something that needed to be talked about.

Group B – Al-Hafi in this story is a poor and chaste individual. He lives a simple life and is a dervish. Also, Al-Hafi is trusted by Saladin, a Kurdish ruler to take care of a part of his property. In other words, he is also a feudal lord who lives a simple life.

Stereotypes: A major stereotype that stands out is that Nathan expects the Sultan (Saladin) to be ruthless. However, Saladin shows mercy towards the Christian crusader and the Templar. He shows mercy because of the crusader's resemblance to his late brother Assad. This story is about a Christian, a Jew and a Mohammadian who break stereotypes of society because their story is intertwined with wisdom, mercy and compassion.

Group C – Saladin is a man entrusted with great authority. He is expected to be ruthless in his position. However, he shows compassion in many instances. He spares the lives of his enemies and helps with the betrothal of Recha.
