Outline for Second Brief

Goal:

To connect religion to Satrapi's identity.
To show how "her" religion backfired or became corrupt
How she fits into it now, or how she shows her personality through the corrupt religion.

important Female laws under the Islamic republic for Satrapi/her family

  • the veil (or other proper appearances)
    • follows the law but not to a T
      • doesn't wear it correctly/wears makeup
    • does not wear it at home
  • strict schooling values (elementary and college)
    • in elementary she went along with them
    • in college she stuck up for herself/beliefs
  • cannot be with a man she is not related or married to.

What do these laws say about her
  • to her family/friends
    • they don't really discuss her outer appearances
    • they let her have her own interests
    • they dress like her
    • they only care when her appearance shows sign of depression
  • to the law
    • she is a "fallen" woman
      • whore, prostitute, slut, etc.
      • she is an object
      • she doesn't have voice
  • to herself
    • she is a rebel
    • she is/isnt attractive (depends)
    • she is artistic
    • as a child she was always confident too
How does she over come these judgments
  • she tries to commit suicide
  • she finds somewhere to show her personality in "public" without disobeying the law completely
    • art
    • parties
    • different jobs
    • leaves
How will my screenplay amplify this to connect with her relationship with god
  • she chooses to follow a religion
  • she chooses to be herself as well
    • through religion
  • discusses her goals with childlike image of god.
