Maus as a whole...

So I have been sick for a while, but i think I might have actually gotten caught up... maybe.

Maus has an amazing way of getting the story across. I love the way it's word for word the way the father says it, and all of the emotion that goes into the story line. the mad relationship that Vladek has with his wife Mala, is abusive and you can tell that the only reason they got married was for the companionship. the horrible things that happened to him when he was a young man were awful and made him the man that is is now, the narrator of the tragedy. Artie is in the middle of a marital conflict, that has obviously going on for a long time, and wants no part of, though both of them drag him into it, no matter what he does. The terrible things that happen to Vladek and Mala make them bitter and really difficult to be around, for good reason. I think the way it ended was very blunt, but gave no room for embellishment, which meant no falsification of the real story.
