Analysis Of Maus Spriegelman

162 Words1 Pages
On page 61 of Maus, Spriegelman used an interesting type of frame in order to show a picture of what another picture was referring to. On the left side of the row, there are two boxes with a character explaining that two days previous, Nazi 's had executed 600 Jews where Art was about to be sent to. These two boxes were encompassed by a non framed image showing mice being executed in a gruesome manner. This unbounded row allows for the reader to both witness the mouse who is speaking of the massacre in a close up and the imagery of how the killing unfolded. In addition to utility of the absence of the frame, the picture feels rugged and unable to be contained. This allows the reader to feel as though these circumstances could not be contained.
