Jafar was Jasmine’s father’s right-hand man. Although in the live-action Disney portrayal we are shown more of Jasmine’s leadership qualities, the same qualities are provided for her in this story with a modern-age twist. She still feels trapped, as her father and Jafar both keep her in some form of room where they control her comings and goings. This portrayal of Jasmine is still against the object of marriage, as she doesn’t want to be controlled by another man, but rather have control over her own life. But for this story, she’s not a princess in the royal sense, but rather in the sense that her father runs a mob business and controls a certain area of property. Jasmine is still as spunky as her Disney movie portrayal. Not only does the book provide us familiar characters from Aladdin, but also many others from the Disney universe. The book provides an adult modern twist on Aladdin as it follows a scandalous relationship between both Jasmine and Jafar.
