Art Spiegelman

Improved Essays
Spiegelman’s way of portraying his story makes a different impact to the audience. In a way where the reader can perhaps relate and understand a tragic story line such as the Holocaust. Art’s cartoons give the reader the visual images he wants the reader to imagine. I personally enjoyed the way Spiegelman chose to pay close attention to the details entailed throughout the story. For example the way he choose the Jews to be represented as mice and the Nazi Germans as cats; when in present time we stereotype the fact the cats chase mice. The theme of the story entails many perspectives. Personally, I refer the theme of the story to the relationship Art and Vladek’s carried as a father and son after Vladek’s posttraumatic experience. Art’s curiosity

    The fact that Art is attempting to heal himself along with depicting Vladek’s story, is evident in his biography. Author Elmwood believes that by intertwining himself into the narrative of his father, Art is able to overcome his insecurities and become a part of the family’s history (701). Besides, when Art discovers that Vladek read his comic strip about Anja and asks Vladek if he is angry, Vladek responds that he is glad that Art got it outside his system (104). Thus, in Maus I and II, there is a sense that Vladek and Art are aware that Art is a victim of intergenerational trauma and he needs healing, but in Lost, the narrator seems oblivious, at times. “The narrator whose suffering is to live with traumatised parents and the consequent loss of an identity is more detached from the distress that his parents experience,” explains author Van der Merwe (4).…

    In his two volumes of Maus, Art Spiegelman chronicles his father, Vladek’s, past from before the second World War to the end of the war while illustrating his present-day conversations with his father. Interestingly, all the characters’ are represented by human beings wearing animal masks. The Jews are wearing mice masks, the German are represented by cats, the Polish are pigs, and the French are frogs. The first volume begins with a quote by Hitler, where he claims, “The Jews are undoubtedly a race, but they are not human.” Spiegelman’s choice of beginning his book with this quote and using animal imagery to depict the people in his story is necessary and important because it forces the reader to understand the Nazi ideology concerning race and its effects on humanity.…

    Racism in Speigelmans, Maus, is quite often found to be the major underlying theme to many other problems encountered in the novel. Speigelman’s novel not only shows what racism the Jews experienced during the Holocaust but also provides his own critique on what transpired during that time. Vladek, who had gone through the Holocaust, has seen and dealt with this discrimination first hand, but yet after the war he himself is quite racist towards those who are not deemed equal in his eyes. This brings Spiegleman to look more and more into the racism during and also after the Holocaust. He critiques it within his story to show how dehumanization is not only unjust but on the other hand shows the structural chaste system in society.…

    How does Spiegelman’s use of contrasting shading methods, specific metaphors, and vivid symbolism in Maus show not only the views of the Nazis of the Jews, but how the Jews ended up viewing themselves. Spiegelman’s use of shading portrays the loss of identity, sets the scene, and shows the guilt that Valdek felt during and after the Holocaust. On pages 51, 55, and 58, Spiegelman uses the pattern of prison stripes on the faces of the mice to portray a sense of loss of individuality. It is normal for the clothes of prisoners to have stripes on them, but when Spiegelman expands that pattern onto the full bodies of the Jews, it makes the reader understand the sense of lost individuality the Jews felt since the reader can’t tell the mice apart from…

    Art listened to his father’s stories about his experience in the Holocaust. He started by writing down everything that his father said then he started using a tape recorder to record the conversations with his father, “A new tape recorder… writing things down is just too hard” (1.4.75). Art explains that he never thought his father would see the work that he has done, and the comics he has drawn to tell Vladek’s story, “ “It appeared in an obscure underground comic book. I never thought Vladek would see it” (1.5. 101). Art’s comics are a way for him to gain independence from his father, seeing his father has no idea that he is making a comic novel about his experience in the holocaust.…

    By using both the stories in his novel, Spiegelman provides an insight about his father and how the holocaust shaped him. Both stories are intertwined, that is, neither could have been told without the other. Jumping right into the book, we see Art, the protagonist, returning home after having his skate broken. His father, rather than consoling him, compares his friends to the holocaust as he says, “then you could see what it is,…
