Mr.+Satrapi

= = Home Mr. Satrapi Mr. Satrapi (or Ebi) is Marjane's father. He is married to Mrs. Satrapi and together they have only one child, Marjane. He has five brothers, two of whom we get to meet in this book, namely Anoosh and Taher.

Mr. Satrapi's grandfather was a prince and his great-grandfather was the emperor that got thrown over by the Shah. He is a leftist political protestor that took part in the demonstrations of 1979, and when demonstrating he often takes pictures. He is an established engineer that manages to keep up a middle class lifestyle. Whenever Marjane does anything opposed to the regime, like saying she wants to become a prophet or making fun of honoring the "martyrs", Mr. Satrapi always supports her. He also supports Marjane's love for western culture by sneaking in posters for her. He is a keen radio listener that trusts he BBC-channel above all others when it comes to the winnings and losses of war.
