The decay of beauty.

These two literary works both talk about women and femininity. Plath's poem is a depressive account of a mirror which sees nothing but the opposite wall, and every morning the face of a woman appears, searching for signs of aging. However, that woman was first a girl, and now she becomes an old woman. The decay of beauty is the main indicator of transience, which drowns the meaning of life.

In Welty's Petrified Man the decay of beauty is also not the central motif. The story is about the triviality of small people's lives in a small American town. Nothing really happens. Two women talk about trifles of their everyday lives. But the motif appears when Leota and Mrs. Fletcher talk about the latter's hair falling out.

How does Marjane Satrapi use structure and style to achieve a specific purpose for a specific audience?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

I believe that you are talking about the work "Persepolis" written and designed by Marjane Satrapi. If that is the case, Satrapi uses a chronological framework to tell her story, showing how the Islamic revolution has interfered in her life from childhood to adulthood, as well as showing how her family has been affected over time. This type of structure is efficient for communicating with an audience interested in history and impacting revolutions on life and ordinary people. Regarding the style, we can see that Satrapi used a simpler style, without striking details, showing that the story was more adult and dealt with strong and not childish themes.

"Persepolis" is an autobiographical grafic novel, where the author shows the development of her life within the Islamic revolution in Iran.
