Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview... an Iranian woman in the midst of a 14-year marriage. Simin lives in modern Tehran, where women’s rights are not certainly not a societal strong point. Then when she wishes to leave the country with their daughter but her husband Nadir opts to stay with his ailing father, strife overtakes their household. Simin is determined to leave, even if that means leaving her marriage.
Personality… audacious, but without overstepping her traditional Iranian values. Simin isn’t going to sit around and let her husband rule her life. She has her own wishes, and even when some would say she is being selfish, Simin knows that she wants to be the only one in control of her life.
