Idenitity in Marjarie Satcapi´s Persepolis

In discussion in our class, the identity problem of Marjane Satrapi 's novel "Persepolis" (2004) became a controversial issue. Whether Persepolis could be understood as a dialogue with observations in the West and whether the influence of modernization had influenced the identity of the protagonist in Persepolis Marjan was asked.

The main change in the revolutionary Iran was the introduction of women's clothing that covers most of the body, including veil and hair. In the early days of the text, it was difficult to understand the importance of clothes for Marji and her classmates, Mr. Marji said: Clothing plays an important role in how Marji expresses his personality and defines himself as an individual.

Persepolis is a childhood story of Marjan Satrapy in Iran. Many of the contents of this book concentrate on the war between Iran and Iraq by families of writers who continued from 1980 to 1988. In a broad sense, this book can be regarded as a memoir. This story personally reflects Satrapi's own life, but it reveals a wider historical era. Satrapi is the hero of a novel. Combined with the novel sequel "Persepolis 2" (depicting Marjane's early adulthood), the novel can be regarded as the first part of a growing novel. A growing novel is a process by which authors are forced to leave their hometowns from a tragic or tragic environment from childhood to adulthood and go through the process of self-realization characterized by the hero and the master It is a novel that follows.
