5/10/2023 0 Comments Persepolis graphic novelMarji explains through her inner monologue that everyone at school had to hit themselves on the first day back from summer vacation, and we can see the teacher demonstrating it and instructing the children to do it as well. Satrapi addresses this through her stream-of-consciousness because the veil is a symbol of oppression towards women, as it is forced upon them by the government instead of being offered the choice to wear them. In the last panel, Marji’s thought bubble (the one on the top of each panel) says “We don’t really like to wear the veil, especially since we don’t understand why we had to”, and we can see the girls throwing the veil around and using it for jumping the rope and for role-playing instead of wearing them, and that was a way for them to express their dislike of the mandatory veil. We can see that both Marji (in the first panel) and her classmates are unhappy in the school picture (in the second panel). 10-year old Marji describes how she and other girls had to wear the veil in school since 1980, one year after the Islamic Revolution. Satrapi uses stream-of-consciousness to teach the social and cultural issues of Iran to her audience. Get custom essays Persepolis: analysis of literary devices Stream-of-consciousness
