Analysis of Art Spiegelman´s Novel: Maus

"The world, the world is not interested in us, everything is possible today even in a crematorium" - Elie Wiesel's graphic novel "Maus" is the story of Holocaust survivor, Vladek Spiegelman. Vladek experienced the massacre and in the process lost most, if not all, of his family. Art came to his father 's house to capture the story. In this novel, you can see this very troubling son-in-law relationship, and if you are the only option, you can see how you can avoid the impact of traumatic experiences such as the Holocaust on future relationships.

In Art Spiegelman's graphic novel "Maus", the use of a mask is very important. Maus was a story of his life as Art's father, Vladek Spiegelman, and Polish Jew, and was sent to the notoriously notorious Auschwitz concentration camp. His father survived, and here we won the Pulitzer Prize and many other awards, we make crazy stories. There are many controversies over this work, critics complained that such serious topics could be conveyed to characters drawn as animals through graphic novel media. Maus is a different type of genocidal story, as the mouse is depicted as a Jew, a cat as a German, a pig as an American, a dog as an American, and a french as a frog. Even with the use of animal identity, it is important to use masks in this story. I think the use of masks by people of mice is very important for storytelling.

Mouse is a graphic novel written and drawn by cartoonist Art Spiegelman. This two part novel was serialized between 1980 and 1991, depicting the journey of father and massacre survivor Vladek Spiegelman. Through a series of personal interviews with his son Art, Vladek is a series of time series anecdotes, but I remember his journey of survival. Through the novel, while interviewing fathers, art is always alternating between past and present stories. His illustration depicts humans as animals. Jews are mice, Nazis are cats, and Paul is a pig. Maus I: Survivor's Story and Maus II: Here my troubles began, interviews occurred in Vladek's house in Lego Park, the cabin of Cats Kills, and in the hospital room of LaGuardia.
