In “Maus,”Art Spiegelman tasks himself with sharing the most accurate retelling of his father’s life story as well as that of he and his father. To achieve a most accurate depiction of he, his father, and their emotions throughout the novel, Spiegelman uses characters Anja and Mala. Both having been married to Vladek, Art’s father, give insight to Vladek, and impart the impression that no matter how stereotypical Vladek’s traits are, the traits unique to him. As Art’s mother, Anja also serves particular purpose in developing a fuller picture of his character. Both Anja and Mala also serve as agitating conflict between the nostalgic, hopeful past and the stressful present for Vladek while drawing a parallel of similar feelings between Art and his lost brother, Richieu. The two women are entry-points for the emotions of Art, Vladek, and their

Most of Vladek Spiegelman has many (strange) personality traits. He can be headstrong, stingy, short-tempered and even borderline racist at times. As the reader reads through Maus I and II, it is learned that most of these things about him stem from his experience being a Holocaust survivor and living through World War II. Before the war, he didn 't exhibit these traits. With his first wife Anja, he is undoubtedly kind, compassionate, and wealthy. Art Spiegelman shows his father’s personality changes and the complexity of his character throughout the two books.

Art Spiegelman offers a very unique point of view in his two narratives, Maus I and Maus II.

Matryona is the little old lady of the village, where people don’t really respect her. He living conditions are shabby- with its wooden shingles and weathered logs, its withered garden and potted plants, its Russian tile stove and icons in the corner and its nanny goat, large cat, mice and cockroaches- but they did not change the kind and generous, unselfish person she was. The dismantling of the outbuilding symbolizes or anticipates the death of the old woman; more than that, it warns of the death of rural Russia, of its ancient, time-tested ways that must not be forgotten. Ultimately, the symbolism and the interconnection of Matryona and here house is used to convey the unnatural ideas of communistic ideology. In communist government, there is no one person but a group of people in power. This type of government does all in its power to destroy independence in a person.

The point of view in The Messenger is third person omniscient. Third-person omniscient is defined as a method of storytelling in which the narrator knows the thoughts and feelings of all of the characters in the story. This is seen in The Messenger because the narrator tells the story of what is happening and what Matty is feeling but it is as if we are watching it like a movie rather than looking through Matty 's eyes. While the narrator may switch what character he/she is talking about, they don 't switch the way in which the reader is told information. The narrator also shows us, the reader, things about the character that other characters do not know. For instance, Leader uses his special gifts to see Matty and Kira 's process on their
