Remember, Remember, the 5th of November, the gun powder treason and plot…
Guy Fawkes was an actual person, you know. His story wasn’t just made up for the plot of V for Vendetta. And his role is essential to understanding the story. You see, Guy Fawkes had an idea. And his idea extended to V’s idea. And so on.
The main premise of V for Vendetta is Orwellian in a 1984/Animal Farm way. The Big Brother Theme is poignant and terrifying. But V and Evey, the hero and heroine of the Graphic-Novel-Turned-Movie, rebel against their oppressors, showing the power of an idea.
