 Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis deals with the serious issue of war and its effect on the countrymen in a very wide scale. The chapter “Key,” is one such significant chapter which throws light on the condition of the countrymen and the situation created by the authorities to get their job done. The heading of the chapter gives an idea that the space which the reader is about to enter is a different space, a dimension of its own and the key must open some door! In the name of religion and pleasure many such keys are given away to people, false promises are made and dreams which promise of reality but unreal are talked about.The first page of the chapter (Page-94) starts off with a piece of writing on the top of the sketch which talks about the Iraqi Army conquering the city of Khorramshahr, it also talks about the modern arms and excellent quality of the Iraqi Army, which is soon followed by the praise of quantity of the Iranian Army and soon after that we see the sketch of Marjane holding the newspaper and the newspaper contains the heading “Today’s Martyrs,” the visible two pages of the newspaper is filled with images. It is a proper display of the flaw in the Iranian authorities, the emphasis on the quantity but not on quality makes it clear that these soldiers are not properly trained! An expression of bewilderment is shown on Marajane’s face which continues in the next frame as well, the third frame shows the mother talking about the building of nuptial chambers by the authorities on the streets and making sure that every citizen gets to know about the martyrs. The fifth frame carries a very strong message, the death of a huge number of virgin fighters makes it clear that the age factor in the army is astonishing, which means most of these fighters were very young. The sketch shows various chambers with faces shows the obsession of the authorities with religion, if the same attention was paid on quality of arms and proper training then so many young lives would not have been lost! The last two frames shows that how the child is unhappy with her mother for making her dry her hair when the newspaper, a source of factual evidence shows that there are so many Martyrs, she even questions her mother regarding it on which the Persian Philosophy of Resignation is talked about.The shock of the child brings to the reader a very essential point, the point of how society is needed to behave when a war is going on. The child’s disappointment with the mother for not sympathising with the martyrs was visible because that is how she thought the society wanted her and others to react. The proof of which is given (Page-95, Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis), the full page is black, it shows the darkness, a colour of mourning. The text on the top of the page clears it out to the readers about the situation under which the citizens are influenced. These small school going children are made to go on funeral marches and are also subjected to display the mourning by physically hitting themselves, which again is a part of religious belief (Page-96, Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis). The involvement of religion in warfare and social life is evidently visible. It can be stated that the war is entwined with religion! The idea of involvement of religion in war does not stop there (Page-99, Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis), shows clearly how the temptation of heaven is shown to young boys so that they are ready to join the army. The fourth frame of the page shows the key which is branded as the key of heaven by the authorities, the fifth and the sixth frame shows the face of Mrs. Nasrine in pain, a situation in which no mother would want to be. The sixth frame shows that she still has the key in one of her hands and the tea in the other which she is not drinking but in utter shock and sadness is sitting there and recalling how difficult it was to raise her children.The war is a social affair where the economic background of the citizens plays an important role. The last page of the chapter has a haunting sketch in the first frame. The page has the most disturbing image(Page-102,Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis), the blackness merged with a white background which is a show of light, it can be said it looks an image of bodies flying up in the sky, going towards their destiny which unfortunately isn’t the ‘Paradise,’ but death in its worst form! The keys are still hung around their necks and the text in the top talks about how the poor children are promised of better lives and are forced into the army; their lives come to an end at the minefields. The other image, the other frame show how Marjane got the permission to attend her first party, a difference in the social class of the citizens promise them different lives during war! But all are the victims of it.
