Besides V and Evey, who are other important characters that contribute to the story?

# data[].attributes.body
Is it important for Evey to carry on with V's legacy?

# data[].attributes.body
Why do yo think V had only changed his mask for the part of when he walked Lewis Prothero through the resettlement camp?

# data[].attributes.body
To answer my own question: V's mask is important in hiding his identity since he's an enemy of the government , but it is also so he can become more than a man. The mask represents V's ideals, if he had just been a man people would have been less likely to listen.

# data[].attributes.body
What is the importance of V's mask? Could he have done the same things to England if he had been unmasked?

# data[].attributes.body
I think V's whole purpose was to break down the government so that they could start over and Evey could take over his legacy and create a new government and leadership that London can follow

# data[].attributes.body
When @nunes steals your question :/

# data[].attributes.body
I think V called Evey Ev at the end because she was maturing and he was seeing her more as an "adult" rather than her 16 year old self

# data[].attributes.body
What is the significance of the smile on V's mask and the resulting unchanging exterior?

# data[].attributes.body
I think he called her Eve because it showed how she has matured and how V and Evey have built a relationship together.

# data[].attributes.body
I think he called her Eve towards the end of the book instead of Evey because it represents that she's free from reality and it's time for a new start.

# data[].attributes.body
Gino, I don't think there could be be another emotion that is protayed on V's mask. Its perfect for what he does. It's almost like the face of karma looking back at you right as you die. It's a bit sweet ending to people with him just smerking down at him as everyone would as they die.

# data[].attributes.body
Why do you think Evey forgave V after he abandoned her and made her live with Gordon and then had to watch her lover be killed? She didn't seem like it affected her which was weird to me since she didn't seem to be mad or anything

# data[].attributes.body
By the end of the story, Evey was a woman transformed. What characteristics were changed?

# data[].attributes.body
Didnt he grow roses because of Valerie?

# data[].attributes.body
@Ivy Do you think Evey may have thanked V because throughout the course of the entire book he could have been brainwashing her in way?

# data[].attributes.body
@katelyn I think he grew a seperate Rose because

# data[].attributes.body
@katelyn I think he grew a rose somewhere else for the leader because killing the leader was the most important part to him. It was kind of the final push to a new world order and a new way of government.

# data[].attributes.body
V also saw Evey as a rebel. Maybe that is why he chose her?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that he planned to help Evey in the beginning because she was very vulnerable and came from a harsh past. I think the V thought that her harsh past would help fuel her disapproval towards the government. I also think he might have thought that she would be easy to manipulate

# data[].attributes.body
Why does V grow a different rose somewhere else for the Leader than for everyone else?

# data[].attributes.body
V can't be seen as black or white. He is a grey that cannot be put on either side of justice. He killed many people and had many people kill each other yet he also saved many people.
The leaders rose is quite possibly Rosemary. She's the rose that was grown for the leader and ended up stabbing him with her thorns
Religious symbolism is most likely why Evey got her name switched to Eve at the end

# data[].attributes.body
@Michael she eventually thanks him for it and tells him “it was a good backdrop”  (174/6) for her to figure out freedom for herself. I think that Evey’s acceptance of the torture justifies what V did, as well as how she came out of it with a better understanding.

# data[].attributes.body
@Kat, I think that it shows the maturity of Evey overtime. She is innocent and not too sure of her actions in the beginning of the book. She then finds freedom.

The Quote goes, "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."

She's not necessarily a villain, but rather the vigilante who makes conflicting decisions that can make her seem evil.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes riley a I do believe that a government like Norsefire could exist today, just look at North Korea. They may be even worse than the Norsefire, putting people in camps for even speaking out against the government and also putting their entire family in there just for the actions of one family member.

# data[].attributes.body
@Kersti I agree and think that he knew when his time was up and he knew that if the "V legacy" was going to live on, he had to give it up

# data[].attributes.body
I think that V used violence because of the strict government around him. If he were to take more peaceful actions, like a protest, the government officials would've killed him. I think the officials are mostly afraid of the idea that they are not in complete power, which is what V was, so they were natural enemies. The people did not have amendment rights to speak their mind.

# data[].attributes.body
I also think that V is better than the government workers because he is not power hungry for himself but for the symbol that V is and what V will do for the people

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with what Will said about V being good or evil. It does matter what side you're on to know if V was evil/good.

# data[].attributes.body
@Michael I think that V could've done it in a more humane way, but the outcome that he received was what he was looking for. This ultimately made Evey much happier and helped her see true freedom.

# data[].attributes.body
Evey is portrayed differently in each book (Innocent child to bald prisoner to becoming V). What do each of these traits represent and how do they show Evey's development throughout the book?

# data[].attributes.body
@Abby V is not moral, but his intentions are good. He's not necessarily a hero by definition as he is very violent and takes lives without hesitation.

# data[].attributes.body
@PerfectManRay, I think his actions were justified but he was much too harsh for Evey. The radical actions aren't fit for anyone but they were essential in making Evey free herself.

# data[].attributes.body
@ Michael Ray, I think that similar to the allegory of the cave, without the growing pains, she would have never gained her new perspective. If V didn’t tortue her, she would never have been ready to become the new V. I think it was worth it when Evey thanks V for what he did (174).

# data[].attributes.body
@ Kylie I think that it was kind of his way of dealing with the situation, I think he could have made change peacefully but I don't think V knew how. He doesn't know how to make change without violence so he used the killings as a way to cope with his anger from his past.

# data[].attributes.body
Does V’s desire to “help” Evey justify him in torturing her at the end of Book 2?

# data[].attributes.body
@Gino I think mad would be another emotion for V. He kind of made the killings personal and wanted to get revenge on the people from the camp. His built up angry from everything is what drove him to make a plan to take down the government. Overall I think he had a lot of emotions going through him during the book. He seemed happy at the end to send off Evey as the new V after all he accomplished. Also in the burning doll scene, he seemed like he was enjoying the torture he was doing to Lewis while biting his dolls. Love towards Evey was also a big emotion for V. His love was also shown in wierd ways, like after he tortured Evey, she says “ you tortured me, oh you tortured me.. oh god why?(Moore and Lloyd 167)”. His response was “Because I love you, because I want to set you free(Moore and Lloyd 167)”. His love for her made him torture her. He wanted to teach her lessons about not being afraid. His love for her drove him to pass down the mask to her.

# data[].attributes.body
@Molly depending on how much progress Evey makes in restoring the government she could build a following that will help her overthrow the government.

# data[].attributes.body
V's death was needed for the book to prove the Evey was now going to take on his legacy and "become the new V"

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think that instead of having one apprentice Evey will try to get more people to follow her, almost like building an army?

# data[].attributes.body
@ Kiley I think that V got revenge out of killing people, he had to kill people unlike Evey because he was hurt in the past and has more experience with evil people, so it is in a way his role to seek revenge and destroy while Evey can build

# data[].attributes.body
V's mask had a snarling smirk on it? What other emotion would be able to portray V's character entirely?

# data[].attributes.body
@Ivy I don't think Evey would've ever even tried to find freedom without V. Let alone keep attempting to find freedom without V making her persevere.

# data[].attributes.body
Ivy, I don't think that Evey will be as magician like because she did not go through as much as V did. I think that the fact the V was in the resettlement camp fueled his movement. She is also a more open character, she is not afraid to talk to the public. V was always broadcasting on TVs.

# data[].attributes.body
What did V get out of killing people? It seemed like he wanted to get revenge for what was done to him but he never mentioned the satisfaction he got or how he felt from it so was it really worth it to him?

# data[].attributes.body
@Ivy, I don't think Evey could have reached the freedom without V because he was the one that imprisoned her and planted Valerie's letter which is what made her realize that she was already in prison.

# data[].attributes.body
@Ivy I think that Even would not have been able to reach the same freedom without V because he put her through things that she had never done before, and brought her to freedom in a way that no one else would have been able to do.

# data[].attributes.body
@Jaelyn V’s death made me feel that he did all he could to make everyone free from the corrupt government. I did expect him to die in a scenario like that. It was the right way he could have gone out. He accomplished what he wanted to do and I believe he was ready to die after that. I believe he did make the right choice before he died. He passed down everything to Evey and gave her the choice to continue the message he was trying to send to the citizens. I think V wants Evey to build the future for the citizens because I don’t think he could have

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Riley because without V she wouldn't have been saved. He tortured her to prove to her that something needs to change.

# data[].attributes.body
@Katelyn I believe that V had extra masks for Evey because his plan is to pass on the legacy of what V is. I think this was the plan the whole time because he could only do some much and it was time to pass on the idea to someone else.

# data[].attributes.body
@Ivy, I don't think that Evey could have reached her same freedom without V because he was the only one that was able to save her from her cave.

# data[].attributes.body
Could Evey have reached the same freedom without V's guidance?

# data[].attributes.body
@Katelyn I think that the masks were there for the next person to take on V because it is dangerous work and V expects his legacy to be passed on and the idea can continue to live through the mask and cloak.

# data[].attributes.body
@nunes Yes. I think that Evey was brought out of her cave because V made her think she was captured and tortured by the Norsefire. After that, she was really petrified just as the people in the cave were, but when she adjusted, she found real freedom.

# data[].attributes.body
@Kat, I think that although the means to take down the government were very violent, in the end I believe England was better off for what V did. They finally have a chance to choose a government for themselves. It might take hard work but I think they’ll find peace eventually

# data[].attributes.body
@Katelyn I thought the extra masks that he had were probably his wardrobe. He probably had multiple masks for himself...

# data[].attributes.body
Did V plan to have extra masks for Evey? If so, was his plan the whole time for her to become the new "V"?

# data[].attributes.body
@Dom I think the plot of the story would have changed a lot if V didn’t die. I think the citizens would have turned to him for a leader once the government fell apart. Also Eveys role would have stayed the same and I don’t know if she would have stayed committed to everything he was doing

# data[].attributes.body
@nadia V wore the mask to enable him to not be a person but an idea. In a way he explains this when he gets shot by Mr. Finch. He says something along the lines that there is no flesh and blood in this cloak. He represents an idea and if we saw his face he would no longer be an idea but a person.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that them being naked symbolizes them being reborn, it makes sense that they would finally be freed from the cage/cave

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Mr. Finch was able to set himself free by building a new perspective as he tries to capture V. I think that he was able to set himself free when he caught V too.

# data[].attributes.body
yes @nunes I think she came out of her cave because fear was holding her back before but now that she has been through V's fake prison she can't feel fear anymore.

# data[].attributes.body
In the end, do you think England is better off for what V did for them? Will the people be able to run their own government?

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Kersti, just because you kill V, doesn't mean he is dead. His ideas are still out there and V states "Ideas aren't bulletproof" proving that his ideas won't die

# data[].attributes.body
Riley, I think the government in North Korea is very similar to Norsefire. Both of those government controls what their citizens see, hear, do, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
As V was dying, he said, “Away with our destroyers! They have no place in our better world... but let us raise a toast to all our bombers, all our bastards, most unlovely and unforgivable.” Do you think he contradicts himself by condemning destroyers or were his actions necessary?

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Kersti because taking off V's mask would dishonor him and everything he tried to change for the future.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes @nunes she's out of her personal cave because she was exposed to the Shadow Gallery which is her escape out of the cave because it shows her the light of the real world.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think V brought Evey out of her “Cave”

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Julianna, If I were Evey I wouldn't have taken off the mask. V was more of a symbol than a real person.

# data[].attributes.body
Are there similarities between the government in V for Vendetta and our government?

# data[].attributes.body
The last chapter of the book was titled, "Valhalla," which can be another word for heaven. Why do you think Moore named the last chapter this? Do the citizens feel like there will be peace now that the government is wrecked?

# data[].attributes.body
How did V's death make you feel? Was that how you wanted/expected him to die? Did he make the right choice before he died?

# data[].attributes.body
@Jordan Farley I agree, I think that if V were to be seen as a human, his message and actions would not have been as powerful. V represented something bigger than himself-a set of ideals and beliefs that would benefit society.

# data[].attributes.body
Can there be a gray area between right and wrong? Do you think V’s actions would fall somewhere in the middle?

# data[].attributes.body
Bree, I think that he killed people in different ways due to their connection with V. Since Delia was a doctor at the resettlement camp she tested some drugs on the prisoners. Her intentions were to help people, and therefore V let her die with a painless drug.

# data[].attributes.body
Ashley, I think that Evey would have ended up as a slave to the government officials in several ways. He gave her an opportunity to change her outcome and make decisions based off what was best for herself.

# data[].attributes.body
Could a Norsefire government actually occur in our world today?

# data[].attributes.body
“Noise is relative to the silence preceding it. The more absolute the hush, the more shocking the thunderclap,” (Moore 194). Is there an importance in the silence V has throughout the book?

# data[].attributes.body
Bree, I feel like he hurt people in the way he was hurt. For Delia, she was the doctor in the camp so she was injected with something since he was probably injected with something. For Prothero, V blew up the only thing that mattered to him, and he did this because Prothero took away what mattered to V: freeedom.

# data[].attributes.body
Why do you think so many rules have been put in place in London at this time?

# data[].attributes.body
Why did V go about killing people in such different ways? (Delia was killed by poison in her sleep while the doll guy was emotionally tortured with his dolls)

# data[].attributes.body
In the beginning I thought V was a criminal but when he saved every I thought he was a good person because he went out of his way to save her. When V tortures Evey my opinion kind of changed but I understood why he did it because he was trying to set Evey free

# data[].attributes.body
What are some parallels between Norsefire and the US Government today?

# data[].attributes.body
To answer Mrs. Vance’s question, I think V’s identity is not revealed because the author didn’t want the symbol that V represents to be overshadowed by the person behind the mask.

# data[].attributes.body
Kiley, I think that V influenced Finch to think on his own. I think after he took LSD and was able to see in V's perspective he was able to see how and why V resented the government.

# data[].attributes.body
where would evey have ended up without V's guidance and friendship?

# data[].attributes.body
Why did V wear a mask if he represented freedom?

# data[].attributes.body
V is not a person. He himself is an idea that passes to other people.
Evey is the other side of the coin to V. Anarchy has two sides creation and destruction. Evey is supposedly the creation
Mr.Finch was also freed from his prison. Just like Evey , but in his own way
V and his ways are a sort of justice that isn't really justice. The blowing up of the statue represented everything , including justice, going to nothing but anarchy.
Removing V's mask kills the idea of who he was. It makes him seem human and not an untouchable invinicble idea.
Mr.Finch says he has no place to go anymore. Freedom from the chains
The cycle of ideas continues. Ideas cannot die so it passes on person to person as one person frees another
Silence makes any sound very loud. With such an oppressed government silencing things for so long any ripple would make a shock.
V is supposed to have extreme split personality. It is completely possible for him to be Valerie.
With the destruction that has happened the new Vs would most likely play builder until the architecture begins to crumble.
Violence is everywhere. The violence from the government spurred violent riots and murders. People tend to reply to violence with violence so after suffering it from so long naturally violence would be brought up as an answer.

# data[].attributes.body
Dominic, I feel like the plot of the story wouldn't of changed much actually because Evey took on his role so the same thing would've happened

# data[].attributes.body
Will Eve as V recruit more than just the one man at the end and possibly create a group?

# data[].attributes.body
@Anika I agree with you. In the end what really matters isn't who V is but what he has come to mean and how is has impacted every character

# data[].attributes.body
To answer Mrs. Vance’s question, I think the author didn’t reveal V’s identity because the author didn’t want the symbol that V represents to be overshadowed by his identity.

# data[].attributes.body
How would the story have been changed if V had more supporters who believed in the same things as him and participated in what V was doing?

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think V could have gone without murdering anyone ?

# data[].attributes.body
How did Evey and V’s relationship make you feel? Did it remind you of any other Vigilantes?

# data[].attributes.body
There is an idea behind the mask. It doesn't matter who is behind the mask because everyone would still be afraid. V could be anyone but it is the idea that matters the most

# data[].attributes.body
How do you think Evey will continue V's plans without violence?

# data[].attributes.body
How will Evey differ as the Role of V compared to the last guy?
