What is the general conflicts in 1001 nights

Collected during the Islamic Golden Age of the 8th to 14th century CE, One Thousand and One Nights is a book of short stories. Better known to most English speakers as Arabian Nights, A Retelling is the same collection, but translated to modern English by Hanan al-Shaykh. Stories range in theme and topic, engulfing both real and fictitious characters. The conflicts are general adventure-type fare: man vs man or man vs monster.
