Analysis of a cartoon (example) Cartoon
Publisher:
This cartoon from kirktoons.com from the year 2004 was published on the website of the Humanistischer Pressedienst.
Description:
In this cartoon you can see three people. Two of them are men, who are wearing old- fashioned black and white clothes and hats,and they are standing in a dark room talking. One of them says that you just don't get intelligence like that without torture while pointing at the third person, who is a woman. She is shackled to a wheel which is attached to the roof of the room and turning above an open fire. In the speech bubble above her head she admits to being a witch. In the background you can see a flight of stairs leading up, which suggests that this room is in a basement, probably a torture room.
Analysis:
The clothes of the people depicted are typical of what Puritans were wearing in the 17th century. This is supported by the fact that the woman is "tested" to find out whether she is a witch, which refers to the Salem witch trials in the late 17th century. During this time especially women were often accused of being a witch. In order to find out whether they had magical powers they were subjected to cruel tests which they either survived, which proved them to be a witch, or during witch they died, which was proof of their innocence. The cartoonist wants to refer to a growing number of Christian Americans who agree to torture to get information from suspects. The US government has used several torture techniques like waterboarding to get information from assumed terrorsits who had been imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay. A survey has shown that most people are in favour of using torture to get information despite their religious convictions. The cartoonsit wants to show the parallels to the Salem witch trials which have been proven to accuse people wrongly. The cartoon wants to remind people of this fact and show that it is not Christian to approve of torture but actually the opposite of what Jesus taught in the New Testament. So it uncovers, in a rather funny way, the hypocrisy of many Us Americans who consider themselves to be Christian.
Topic:
So the topic of this cartoon is the influence of religion in the USA and its sometimes negative effects on politics.
(You can talk about the topic either at beginning, after the description of at the end of the analysis as it might sometimes be difficult to understand the topic right from the start.
