Resistance and identity. The colonized people's struggle against imperialism is a common theme. It shows how they fought to preserve their identity, whether it was their national identity, cultural identity or ethnic identity. This can be through armed resistance as seen in some historical graphic novels about anti - colonial uprisings, or through more subtle forms of cultural preservation and defiance in the face of imperial domination.
Power dynamics. These novels often show how imperial powers exerted control over colonies, like the way they used military force and political manipulation.
Power is often a main theme. Impeachment involves the power dynamics between different branches of government. It shows how power can be challenged and held accountable.
Themes of love and relationships are surely present. The grandma's romantic relationships, whether past or present, would be an important part of the story. It could show how she found love in a society that might not have been fully accepting at times. There may also be themes of resilience, as she had to face potential discrimination or misunderstanding, and yet still managed to live her life. And of course, the theme of identity in general, not just sexual identity, but also how being a grandma and a lesbian shapes her overall sense of self.
One of the main themes is the exploitation of the vulnerable. In these graphic novels, you often see how traffickers target those who are poor, marginalized or in desperate situations. For example, young girls from impoverished families might be lured with false promises of a better life.
Since I'm not familiar with specific 'Joe Palestine graphic novels', it's hard to say. But generally in graphic novels, themes can include personal growth, relationships, and social issues.
If we assume such a novel exists, it might explore themes like power dynamics. In a sex contract situation, there could be an unequal distribution of power between the parties involved. One might have more control or influence due to the terms of the contract.
Survival is a big one. Characters in the novel often have to figure out how to get food, water, and shelter on the lost island. Another theme could be isolation. Being cut off from the rest of the world can have a huge impact on the characters' mental states.
The main themes in 'The Maus Graphic Novel' are the Holocaust, survival, and the relationship between father and son. The story of the Holocaust is central, showing the atrocities and the struggle for survival. The relationship between the narrator and his father also plays a big role as they discuss the past traumas.
The theme of isolation might be present. As an alcoholic often becomes detached from friends and family due to their drinking habits. Also, the theme of redemption could be explored. Maybe the story shows the character's journey towards getting better and overcoming their alcohol problem. There might also be a theme of denial, as many alcoholics deny they have a problem at first.
Identity is a big one. The character who is intersex and a 'golden boy' might struggle with their sense of self, trying to figure out where they fit in society, in terms of gender and also in terms of their special status as a 'golden boy'.
Equality is another key theme. They compare the status of animals to humans and question why animals are not treated with the same level of respect. For example, in many stories, animals are shown to have intelligence and emotions similar to humans, yet they are not given equal rights. It makes readers think about the moral implications of this inequality. This can be seen in stories where animals are fighting for the right to live in a natural environment without human interference.
