How does Azar Nafisi use imagery in Reading Lolita in Tehran, A Memoir in Books?

Post-revolutionary Iran is a place of empty rhetoric and ghastly sloganeering. Language reflects reality. Several of Nafisi's radical students simplistically condemn the literature under study as "decadent" or "bourgeois." Nafisi never surrenders the beauty and subtlety of language to such simplification. She defends nuance and interpretation in language. The world of revolutionary Iran is a black and white place in which ambiguity has all but been abolished. Nafisi is able to at least instill a tolerance of ambiguity in many of her students.
