General Analysis

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Persepolis, by Marjane Satrapi, is a memoir in comic form that recounts the author's childhood in Iran during a period of immense political and social upheaval. The story begins in 1980 when the Islamic Revolution made wearing the veil obligatory at school and follows Satrapi as she navigates the complexities of growing up in a country undergoing radical transformation. The narrative explores themes of identity, freedom, and the clash between personal experiences and larger historical forces, all while avoiding revealing the ending. The story also touches on the impacts of the Iran-Iraq war, the struggles for survival, and the ways in which ordinary people sought normalcy amidst conflict.
