Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return by Marjane Satrapi

2.0

Marjane as an adult is someone I would stay away from. Sure, she is empowered and brave but she is also very selfish. Most of her miseries are self-inflicted because of her lack of self-control. However, what turned me off the most was that she framed an innocent man to get away from wearing make-up. That man could have been tortured or killed (considering he looked homeless and most likely couldn't pay bail) I would give her a pass if she actually felt guilt about what she did but she laughed about it afterwards. What happened to the young Marjane who was all for social justice and was uncomfortable with sitting on her father's cadillac because other children were suffering? Her time in Europe should have made her less entitled.
