4.3 discussion post for maus i, chps. 1-3

Identity as Construct

In the graphic memoir, Maus, Spiegelman raises the theme of identity repeatedly as Vladek and others have to shift and change their identity to evade capture and to survive. As Spiegelman constructs Vladek’s identity as a soldier and prisoner of war, he also constructs Artie’s identity in relationship to Vladek because Artie acts somewhat like a journalist, interviewing his father and recording and eventually publishing his experiences. Identity is not the only theme working in the text, however. Memory, racism/antisemitism, and language are also present in the text, and each works with the theme of identity in different ways.
