* FirstFatherWins[=/=]ThickerThanWater: Averted with the Sheik's biological father, who was horrible to his wife to the point where she fled from him and eventually died after giving birth to Ahmed. This is one of the few cases in the literature of the time where the abusive husband's eventual change-of-heart does ''not'' result in reconciliation; he has to live with the consequences of his actions, including the fact that [[AntagonisticOffspring his son wishes to have nothing to do with him]]. On being told of his heritage, Ahmed developed a complete hatred for all the English to the point where he [[UpToEleven refuses to even speak the language]], showing reverence only towards his adoptive Arab father. This plot point is dropped in the movie, in which it is revealed that both of Ahmed's parents died after their guide abandoned them in the desert, leaving little Ahmed to be raised by the Arab tribe that found him.

''The Sheik'' is a [[ValuesDissonance (by modern standards)]] rather [[ValuesDissonance horrifying]] novel written in 1919 by a woman named Edith Maude "E.M." Hull. A rather less horrifying [[TheMovie movie]] was made in 1921, starring Creator/RudolphValentino and Agnes Ayres, directed by George Melford.
