In the graphic novel Maus, the author Art Spiegelman chose the title “And Here My Troubles Began” to reflect the horrible events that happened to Vladek under the control of the Nazis. The prisoners caught lice as they were all sitting of the straw bundles in the barracks. The Germans checked everyone’s shirt for lice and “if it was any lice, you got no soup”(251). Vladek claimed that “this was impossible” as everywhere there were lice (251). This is an excellent example of how Vladek was…

Judith Butler makes the argument in her most influential book, “Gender Trouble,” that gender is a performance; it's what the gender does at particular times, rather than universal standards of gender. The distinction between the two is what creates an idea or perception of gender.
