III. Torture Games. Why does Marji feel impelled to invent these torture games What psychological purpose might they serve ?

After Marji hears that they burned Ahmadi with a clothes iron, she looks over at the one they have in their own house and makes a connection between their brutality and her domestic life. She says, "I never imagined that you could use that appliance for torture." Later on she incorporates these torture ideas into the games she plays with peers in her community. I think this helps her process the idea and concept of torture as well understanding what people undergoing it might experience.
