Maus‚ written by Art Spiegelman‚ is a graphic novel that shows an up close and personal perspective on the life of a Jew during the Holocaust. Many people hear about all the things that Jewish people went through‚ but what makes Maus different is that you get to read about someone’s perspective and what they went through every step of the way. Both Schindler’s List and Maus are two completely different stories and are told totally differently

In our analyses of both Maus and Persepolis we determined that the figure of the narrator is always linked to the autobiography in numerous complicated ways‚ and this concept can be taken literally in the context of autography‚ or graphic memoir. The author has the ability to literally insert themselves into the text and narrate from two separate levels.
