2. Reread the following lines from "Lolita in Tehran." “Does she compare her own situation with her mother's when she was the same age? Is she angry that
women of her mother's generation could walk the streets freely, enjoy the company of the opposite sex, join
the police force, become pilots, live under laws that were among the most progressive in the world regarding
women? Does she feel humiliated by the new laws, by the fact that after the revolution, the age of marriage
was lowered from eighteen to nine, that stoning became once more the punishment for adultery and
prostitution?"
How does the author convey her point of view about the regime without literally giving her opinion?
