Document Summary
Thesis: alan moore"s v for vendetta tells the harrowing tale of a world where england is one of the few remaining countries existing in a convoluted dystopian world. An england completely monopolized by its government, where its people have no say in any aspect of society. The story follows an extremist terrorist codenamed v, who embarks on a journey with the female protagonist eve with the goal of returning england to its former glory. Moore uses the characters and plot of this story to convey his perspective on controlling governments. He exposes the belief that people need to be in control of their governments. That people need to stand up for what they think is right or wrong and not let anyone tell them otherwise. That anything but this leads to the destruction of civilization. The major theme of v for vendetta is freedom and its relationship with anarchy.
