Abstract
This article, with the structural analysis of deceits and tricks of women in the stories of A Thousand and One Nights, tries to study their specialties and then responds to the problems propounded in this field such as structure of the stories, manner and results of actions and desires of those deceits. Basis of the current work has been the book ‘Morphology of Fairytales’ and application of its pattern in the books such as a ‘Prelude on Morphology of A thousand and One Nights’.
As it was felt initially that tricks of deceitful women of A thousand and One Nights are merely a reaction i.e. fraudulences take place in response to inequalities, exercising of authorities etc… But, the current research has distinguished that the reactionary movements take place from fraudulent whose number is 64 which is against the 69 proposed reactions. The remarkable point is that in most of the cases i.e. 54 times reactionary movements are justifiable and successful.
 
 

Keywords: Literary Criticism, Morphology in Stories of A thousand and One Nights, Women Deceit in Persian Literature
