@Abbey I feel like everyone's good could be some peoples evil and vice versa. There is never something that everyone thinks is good. This book makes it obvious because V thinking that killing people is for the better makes other people like Evey think it is an act of evil. It is all based on different perspectives.

# data[].attributes.body
how has your perspective changed on good vs. evil?

@Brandon I think in Plato's Allegory of the Cave we saw how those in power relate to the government in V for Vendetta, and V is showing how if you take some of that power back change can happen, which he does

@Bridget I think that his broadcasts gave the society some fear/hope at the same time. I feel like it was mixed emotions for the society and different people but in the long run, the things he would say about freedom and the dictatorship being wrong had to have a positive effect on the society

# data[].attributes.body
In what ways do you think V’s broadcast worked/"fixed" society? How did it detriment society and his secrecy?

# data[].attributes.body
How does the perception of Plato’s “cave” theory relate to V’s drive to create good and change for justice?

# data[].attributes.body
@Paige. I believe that even though Evey and V have the same goal they are opposite. He is violence and destruction and Evey is growth and peace. She will make a difference in any way she can but it will be through peace and growth.

@Connor first off, by what do you mean "the truth". On the other hand, I think it's far too dangerous to expose these citizens to the truth. As readers, we were able to see how they reacted to the newly formed government. These citizens wouldn't even know what to do with the truth. Much like we, as U.S. citizens, wouldn't know what to do if the government admitted to us that they were lying.

@Cam there were too many words, and the font made it difficult to read. I think that a picture book with just pictures could have been better, with some points to stop and explain with no pictures.

# data[].attributes.body
@Paige I think that she will not be as violent as V was. Throughout the book she kept telling him that she won’t kill for him and that she doesn’t want him to kill anymore. I do think she will keep pushing for the goal that V had, just in a different way.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think that the citizens should be exposed to the truth or go on living their lives under "false happiness"

@katy, I feel that V, in the eyes of the government was considered evil, but in the eyes of the society as a whole he was seen as someone to look up to and willing to make change.

# data[].attributes.body
@Katy V, by definition, is not evil- at least not in my eyes. There was never an attack made on these people with a malicious motive. Rather, his intention were to expose the government on a level that was able to educate the citizens on the corruption.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think Evey will become just like V in a violent way like he was, or will she be making a statement that V made in different ways?

# data[].attributes.body
In the end, do you think V should be considered good or evil? Is he moral?

@Cam I think, at times, there was too many words. I thought those pages took away from the story.

# data[].attributes.body
@cam I thought the ratio of words to pictures was good. It helped show what was happening very well which helped me understand.

# data[].attributes.body
@Sammie. I agree that if other people were given that opportunity, they would have a different perspective. I never thought about that before, but that is a good point.

# data[].attributes.body
@Cam, I think the there was a good balance as you could get a deeper understanding of every situation. You had the chance to understand more than what they were just saying and could see how their emotions impacted each other.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think the ratio of pictures and words in this book was good? If not do you think there should be more words, or more pictures?

# data[].attributes.body
@Bridget. I think that everyone had the ability to understand what Finch got to understand at the end. But they never had the chance. Finch went through a walk to see what is happening to the civilians of his country. If the other Norsefire officers had that chance then it could have made for a more successful compassionate government.

# data[].attributes.body
@Brandon, there will always be a group of people with separate ideas then their government holds. We see it in society today and we saw it in the book as well. No matter what government takes over there will always be a group trying to suppress others.

# data[].attributes.body
@Evan, Do you think that if an anarchy rises to power that there will always be a group trying to suppress others whether or not they use V's ideas or not?

# data[].attributes.body
At the end of the book, Finch understood the importance of retaliating against Norsefire. Do you think the other characters would have also felt that way, but didn't get the chance to speak/imply?

# data[].attributes.body
@Bridget, I think that Anarchy would continue for a little while before people start to change something. I feel they will change their government in way that will give the people more freedom and more say in what they want.

# data[].attributes.body
@Bridget, I feel that if the book would continue there would be some sort of government that people would not like and be suppressed under. There will always be a powerful group that steps up and takes leadership and that means I feel there will be an anarchy in power whether it is built around V's ideas or not.

# data[].attributes.body
@Bridget there shall be no government, anarchy is the way to go

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the death of V was more a start of his plan, even though he settled people like Evey up for success you could say, his death also represented his fight for all the other people of London. V was the one who started the rebellion, and his death caused more people to realize the corruption.

# data[].attributes.body
How will the government proceed if the book continued? Would anarchy take over or will the government attain more control?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the reason that we don’t learn much about V’s background, is because his character is supposed to represent a symbol of change, and not just a person that doesn’t like the goverment.

# data[].attributes.body
They never reveal V's true identity because I think V represented everyone, therefore he never really had a single identity. In the book V even says that he is "everyone" when talking to Evey.

# data[].attributes.body
@ Cam I think that there was no better way for V to die because his death was in his control and fit perfectly into his plan.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think there was a meaning in the way that V died? Was there a better way to kill off his character?

# data[].attributes.body
V was a symbol for something greater. Had they revealed who he was, the symbolism wouldn't have been as strong as if he were revealed.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the author never truly reveals V's identity because V represents the whole of society. He doesn't have a "true identity", he represents society. At the end of the book, V's identity still isn't shown therefore it doesn't really matter. Evey takes over the role and puts on the mask showing anybody can be V, anybody can stand up against the government and I believe that is what V's character represents.

# data[].attributes.body
@ Mrs. Vance
The author never reveals V's true identity, just as Evey didn't take off his mask, because V is an idea/movement/phenomenon. V's identity doesn't matter, because Evey takes his place and embodies everything that he once was.

# data[].attributes.body
Why does the author/illustrator never reveal V's true identity? What might that say about the larger ideology behind the mask and the themes in the novel
