analytical Essay
1866 words
Maus by Art Spiegelman is not only a graphic novel demonstrating the negative effects of the Holocaust, but it is also a narrative that illustrates the personalities of the characters.

The meaning of irony throughout Maus directly relates to absurdity, there is absurdity in all ironic occurrences throughout the book, the death of Anja’s wealthy parents, the death of Richieu, Anja’s suicide, Vladek’s dictator qualities, the burning of Anja’s diaries, the betrayal of Jews and finally the irony of war.

But it is once he reads the diaries and realizes that she was depressed and suicidal that he cannot bear to have the diaries and thus burns them. The absurd irony is that Vladek did whatever to save and protect Anja, but he would later become the murderer of her
