Persepolis 2

The scene at the hospital in 'Persepolis' could be one of situational irony because

• There are dead people there
• Dead people are appropriated as martyrs
• Someone who's died of natural causes is termed a martyr
• The bereaved woman shouts 'the king is a killer'

Mehri in 'The Letter' is Satrapi's

• first cousin

• school friend

• maid

• neighbor

'She was just ten years old when I was born. She took care of me', is an example of:

• Sarcasm - how could a ten year old take care of someone?
• Mocking tone - the person needing care was taking care of someone
• Irony, a child taking care of a child
• Desperation and straitened circumstances.
