Aladdin’s magic lamp

Aladdin’s magic lamp is invoked only as a glossary cross-reference: it identifies the allusion behind the phrase “the lantern’s genie,” without establishing a separate role for the lamp in the narrative.

Glossary Reference

The note directs readers from “the lantern’s genie” to “Aladdin and his lamp” and associates the reference with page 77. The lamp therefore supplies an external point of recognition for the genie phrase, rather than a described object with its own narrated appearance.

Allusive Function

The comparison makes the phrase legible through its association with Aladdin’s magic lamp. The evidence does not describe the lamp’s powers, use, or any event involving it; its documented function here is limited to clarifying the allusion.
