Persepolis is an autobiographical graphic novel by the author, the story of Marjane Satrapi's childhood during and after the Islamic Revolution. Satrapi's goal in writing Persepolis is to let everyone, especially the West, know that "the entire [Iranian] nation should not be judged by the misdeeds of a few extremists" who are linked to "fundamentalism, fanaticism and to terrorism" in history (Satrapi 2). The West has had a negative perception of the East for centuries, especially on the issue of the oppression of Iranian women by the Islamic regime. As I read Persepolis, I find that Satrapi is not writing Persepolis only as a means to counter all of Western readers' negative conceptions of Iran, but rather as a history book that contains messages that need to be conveyed to Iran. Besides that, Satrapi incorporated Western culture into the characters and uses cultures as one of the ways Iranians can survive in the oppression of the Islamic regime. My goal in this article is to discuss the representation of Western cultures as a way to address oppression, and Satrapi's work does not act as a means to change the West's perception of Iran, but as a storybook which tells the story of Iran for readers around the world and also contains messages that need to be conveyed to Iranians. Most of the chapters in Persepolis show that Satrapi has westernized the Iranians. Looking at the title of the novel itself; Persepolis, readers know that Satrapi has put some Western culture into the book since Persepolis is the Western name of the Persian city. On top of that, in "Kim Wilde", Satrapi portrays herself as a Western teenager wearing a denim jacket with the image of Michael Jackson... in the center of the card... a boy who lives near Marji's house and they continue to exchange letters but Marji is the one who helps Mehri write the letter because Mehri can't write. When Marji's father learns of the love relationship, he says that “their love was impossible because in this country you have to stay within your social class” (37). Satrapi proves that there is no justice and injustice for the poor. Based on the articles I use to support my thesis, none of the critics mentioned the issue of Iran's social structure. In conclusion, I agree with critics who argue that Satrapi inserts Western culture into the characters as a way to survive oppression by the Islamic regime and that her works do not act as a means to change negative perceptions of the West towards the East. but rather as a book of stories about Iran and Iran.
