Conclusion

Reflecting back on the exhibit as a whole, it is beyond clear that the three objects chosen go above and beyond in creating a holistic view of the text, as well as providing a better understanding of both the passage as well as the genie's unpredictable nature. The jar makes the story feel alive as well as provides a physical construct of the genie's mentality, the painting presents the impact of the monster on global storytelling and how genies are perceived elsewhere, and the amulet creates a direct distinction between genies and people - emphasizing their status as a monster. With an undeniably fascinating behavioural pattern that from story to story remains unforeseeable, it is clear that as a literary community, scholars will not be closing the lamp on genie discussions quite yet.
