Week Five- Prompt #1
As I read my blog posts for an idea post, I started to come up with a theme based on religion. I believe I will be exploring the New Criticism theory in my analysis.
Supporting my argument would be the Islamic Revolution versus western ideals. How Marjane uses both of these ideals using irony and as a paradox throughout the novel. Words spelled the same, but Marjane uses the words to mean different ideas. I would write about how she uses them and the different meanings. Satrapi’s writes about similarities, God and Marx, and her faith in each of them. Then later she has no faith in either or in the fundamentalist regime.
