In "The Complete Persepolis" Marjane Satrapi lived her life as a definite protagonist. With her world changing around her very rapidly she remained her own person. It seems like Iran was never really the place for her, even though her family and friends were there her rebellious nature did not belong there with Iran's every changing rules. She did need to get out and she did. With that even her marriage seemed like a trap to her. Satrapi needed to express herself and her marriage was preventing that from happening.
As Satrapi moved on she never did forget her heritage or her traditions and the way she was raised. Everyone in her life had a huge impact on how she developed as a person and that will probably be what makes her who she is. Her parents wanted the best for her that is why they sent her off alone to teach her valuable lessons. Ones that they knew she had to learn herself. Then coming back she realized over time she did need to move on and she accepted it. Iran was not letting her be the person she really needed to be. And it turned out that she became very successful in her work. This was a very interesting book by looking at the development of a child through the Islamic revolution and watching her grow up through her adolescents.
