First impressions.
Compartmentalize into themes.
Point blank, Maus seems yet another cynical satire of history. Presumably, naysayers more than patrons, would condemn the gut of Spiegelman for toying with the idea as delicate as that of the Nazism tragedy. While prodding the misfortunes of another, much less this blow to mankind is taboo, the mind knows no bounds. Spiegelman devised an avenue by which the clandestines of war may be retold.

Themes.
While Maus is a blatant depiction of oppression, racial discrimination, and genocide, as we delve, there is more than what meets the eye.

Human nature and traditional intertwined family dynamics patriarchy.

Patriarchy
Anjas suicide

Inquisitiveness.

Innate is the attribute of every human …show more content…

Fictitious supernatural hero villain to the mundane struggle for survival of a Jew represent a story of substance.
Universality of cartoon imagery.

No matter how great material is without the appropriate medium it would be pointless. According to Mccloud himself design matters. Great design can and does change the world where as poor design can and does ruin lives. Would appeal even to an innocent child rather than gruesome morbid images. Dehumanizing in a positive note as a protective blanket to the stigma of human experience as otherwise maliciously insinuated by other critics. A simple predator-prey personification play in the form of cats and mice. Simple and universal tailored to a laymans comprehension.

For the main course roasted Jews stuffed with unfounded discrimination.

I beg to disagree that Maus has trivialized the gravity of the Holocaust. In so many occasions it has portrayed the racial food chain spearheaded by the Germans. Regardless of profile and stereotypes murder against brethren is unacceptable much less genocide. Slow death by the seeping gas in the chambers the questioning faces of the Jews flashing lives before their eyes thinking what they did do to deserve such

  • Lasting Effects of the Holocaust

    1179 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Holocaust was a very impressionable period of time. It not only got media attention during that time, but movies, books, websites, and other forms of media still remember the Holocaust. In Richard Brietman’s article, “Lasting Effects of the Holocaust,” he reviews two books and one movie that were created to reflect the Holocaust (BREITMAN 11). He notes that the two books are very realistic and give historical facts and references to display the evils that were happening in concentration camps during the Holocaust. This shows that the atrocities that were committed during the Holocaust have not been forgotten. Through historical writings and records, the harshness and evil that created the Holocaust will live through centuries, so that it may not be repeated again (BREITMAN 14).

  • Animals In Art Spiegelman's Maus

    1116 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Art Spiegelman’s comic series, MAUS, each race in the storyline is analogously depicted as a different animal. This essay will explore the various benefits, drawbacks and their counteractions, that are confounded with author’s choice of this illustration. It can be argued that choosing animals to represent humans, in an event as complex as the Shoah, dehumanizes victims even more. Humans conventionally see species of animals as collective entities rather than individual beings. Thus, by representing all the Jewish people as one type of animal, the reader might unconsciously generalize all the victims’ sufferings and discourses into one coherent image, in order to make sense of things. On the other hand, depicting each race as a certain animal

  • Night By Elie Wiesel And Maus Analysis

    991 Words  | 2 Pages

    Jane Yolen once said: “Fiction cannot recite the numbing numbers, but it can be that witness, that memory.” Preserving the memories of the horrifying incidents of the Holocaust is the best way to ensure nothing like it ever occurs again. Authors use their novels to try and pass these memories down through generations. Examples of this are the novels Night by Elie Wiesel, and MAUS by Art Spiegelman. The main discussion in these novels revolves around the Holocaust and the violence against Jews. Both have captivating stories and are worthy of recognition, but MAUS is a better novel for educating students. This is because unlike Night it discusses the familial guilt faced by the families of Holocaust survivors. In addition, MAUS gives a visual

  • Use of Animals in Art Spiegelman's Maus: A Survivor's Tale

    1044 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Maus series of books tell a very powerful story about one man’s experience in the Holocaust. They do not tell the story in the conventional novel fashion. Instead, the books take on an approach that uses comic windows as a method of conveying the story. One of the most controversial aspects of this method was the use of animals to portray different races of people. The use of animals as human races shows the reader the ideas of the Holocaust a lot more forcefully than simply using humans as the characters.

  • Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards

    1187 Words  | 3 Pages

    Quentin Tarantino’s 2009 film Inglourious Bastards entails a Jewish revenge fantasy that is told through a counterfactual history of events in World War II. However, this story follows a completely different plot than what we are currently familiar with. Within these circumstances, audiences now question the very ideas and arguments that are often associated with World War II. We believe that Inglourious Basterds is a Jewish revenge fantasy that forces us to rethink our previous understandings by disrupting the viewers sense of content and nature in the history of World War II. Within this thesis, this paper will cover the Jewish lens vs. American lens, counter-plots with-in the film, ignored social undercurrents, and the idea that nobody wins in war. These ideas all correlate with how we view World War II history and how Inglourious Basterds muddles our previous thoughts on how these events occurred.

  • Analysis of The Complete Maus, by Art Spiegelman

    1114 Words  | 3 Pages

    When reading a traditional book, it is up to the reader to imagine the faces and landscapes that are described within. A well written story will describe the images clearly so that you can easily picture the details. In Art Spiegelman’s The Complete Maus, the use of the animals in place of the humans offers a rather comical view in its simplistic relation to the subject and at the same time develops a cryptic mood within the story. His drawings of living conditions in Auschwitz; expressions on the faces of people enduring torture, starvation, and despair; his experience with the mental institution and his mother’s suicide; and occasional snapshots of certain individuals, create a new dynamic between book and reader. By using the form of the graphic novel, Art Spiegelman created a narrative accompanied by pictures instead of needing to use immense worded detail.

    1179 Words  | 3 Pages

    The books Maus I and Maus II, written by Art Spiegelman over a thirteen-year period from 1978-1991, are books that on the surface are written about the Holocaust. The books specifically relate to the author’s father’s experiences pre and post-war as well as his experiences in Auschwitz. The book also explores the author’s very complex relationship between himself and his father, and how the Holocaust further complicates this relationship. On a deeper level the book also dances around the idea of victims, perpetrators, and bystanders. The two books are presented in a very interesting way; they are shown in comic form, which provides the ability for Spiegelman to incorporate numerous ideas and complexities to his work.

  • Spiegelman's Use Of Animals In Animal Farm

    1524 Words  | 4 Pages

    Humans pride themselves on being civilized so much that we use the word humane, which steams from the root word human and is defined by Dictionary.com as being “characterized by tenderness, compassion, and sympathy for people and animals, especially for the suffering and distressed.” We pride ourselves on being able to rise above our animalistic nature yet in the darkest hours of our history you are able to see the beast that lies within humans: you are able to bare witness to the atrocious acts of violence and hatred. Spiegelman knowing this animalistic sense of ourselves through the use of animals creates a human connection that resonates with the reader. Spiegelman decided to portray the characters in his novel Maus as animals; he as a writer
