Since the first day of human civilization, war has been our constant companion. The first wars happened when governments didn't even exist yet. No one knows exactly when exactly the first wars occurred, but according to historians it occurred in tribal times. These wars were for territory, food, and slaves. What has changed in the nature of warfare over these thousands of years? Nature is always the same. People kill each other and no one wants that. Unlike our ancestors, we create the graceful shell for our behavior. We create ideology. Let's just stop killing each other because we want to. We kill each other because of religion, patriotism, democracy, nationalism and other reasons that now justify our behavior. Marjane Satrapi in her graphic novel “Persepolis” illustrates how war and ideology work hand in hand in her example of life growing up in Iran during the Iran-Iraq War. His book illustrates how war and ideology can change every value in our lives when death becomes a great pleasure and life is simply about surviving every day. The idea of ​​indoctrination is shown to us in the chapter “The Key”. By then the war with Iraq is already underway and on page 95 we can see a large image of girls all over the page crying for the dead soldiers. This image has a great contrast with the previous page which is created from small blocks and where we can see detailed painted images with different people. On the contrary, in this large image everyone looks exactly the same. Girls represented as monoliths of the same emotion and feeling in which no separate human being can be recognized. The author uses this allegory to show us how ideology dehumanizes people and changes their focus. Because the government wants people to be in the middle of the paper, a page with a hole in it that gets our attention. We can see that even when he tries to avoid the war and escape his worries about it, he cannot succeed. The war is all around her and will never let her forget it. The poison of war is in his heart. Overall, the novel Persepolis shows us the nature of war and government repressions from a non-standard point of view where we can see prisoner statistics and battlefield plans. Instead, the narrator shows us what it feels like for an average person to live and grow up in this kind of atmosphere. I do not want to discuss here the nature of war or the necessity of this type of action. I firmly believe that everything happens because human beings forget that they are human. Furthermore, everyone around them is also human. But ideologues convince people that other people are enemies who should be killed.
