Morgania pours boiling oil on thieves hiding in oil jars:
In case you aren't familiar with the story, here's the deal. Theives have hidden
themselves in jars that are supposed to contain oil. Margania knows that the jars
contain thieves and decides to do away with them by pouring boiling oil into the
jars to scald the thieves to death. Pretty gruesome, even by the standard of
the Nights.
Adeline Bolton depicts an almost kindly
Morgania, gently going about her gristly work. There is no sign of
the terrible deaths being experienced by the evil thieves.
Frances Brundage shows Morgania peering in, making sure
the oil has had its desired effect of scalding the robber to death.
Edmond Dulac shows a little of the terror of the situation with the clutching hand
thrust from the jar.
Louis Rhead shows us Morgania's back, but we do get a
nice shot of the oil pouring in and a glimpse of a robber's grasping
fingers. The jars seem a little small to hold full-grown thieves...
Earle Goodenow gives us a simple picture with big, solid jars and
nice, tight lids. Morgiana looks steadfast and has a nice, large jar
of oil to work with.
