PERSEPOLIS
Freedom
"Since we weren't married, we couldn't kiss each other in public, or even give one another a friendly hug to express our extreme joy. We risked imprisonment and being whipped."
Family
“We found ourselves veiled and separated from our friends.”
- The veil was a symbol that imprisoned women’ self-expression and freedom.
- Girls weren’t able to attend the same school with boys.
-Girls weren’t exposed to the same educational opportunity
- “I want to be an educated, liberated woman…and so another dream went up in smoke.”
- Women were treated like objects as when they do not obey the rules of the state, they face insults, arrests, tortures.
- “They said that women like me should be pushed up against a wall and fucked and then thrown in the garbage.”

- The higher class trick the lower class to fight the war for them, because they are put on the front line, saying that the afterlife would be better. (a plastic key painted gold guarantee him a ticket to heaven.)
