V for Vendetta

Before I start this I am not an Anarchist, the title is just to represent the core issue that I feel this book deals with. Now that is out of the way, I will state that this is an essential read in my view for anyone let alone fans of Orwell's 1984 and animal Farm, which are definitely the foundations of this literature. V for Vendetta is a word of "big brother" taken to new levels with a well oiled system of control and primitive dominance. So it's nothing revolutionary but it's elements and the story's anti-hero V combine to make the story more than memorable. Speaking of V, the book shows him for what he really is, an Anarchist. Not this idealistic hero we see in the film, while he is still technically fighting against "Nazi's" in the book, its not so black and white; more muddy grey. V can still be looked upon as a hero but in all essence; a killer. The brilliant thing is Moore himself has pushed neither system into our face and said this is right, this is wrong. He has created a world of control where many characters including Evey bring about questions to what V is doing and if violence will solve the issues of a violent system. This is why the book stands out so well and has become so good at what it does, it makes you think for yourself unlike Orwell which I feel was much more politically one side driven. This will keep you awake as you read through and it is worth it just for the fact it will bring up morals that so little today touch. An outstanding read and piece of work.

Reading V for Vendetta was a powerful experience that left a lasting impression on me. The story is a chilling portrayal of a dystopian society ruled by fear and oppression, where reality is shaped to serve those in power. What struck me deeply was how the citizens internalized this regime. They lived in silence, too afraid to speak or even think freely. This is where repression becomes a central theme. People repress their fear, their grief, and even their identity, just to survive in a world where hope is dangerous. The regime’s tactics of suppression—burning books, shutting down voices, and disappearing anyone who resists—are disturbingly realistic. In the end, V for Vendetta is not just a story about vengeance, but a warning about what happens when oppression, repression, and suppression replace truth, individuality, and justice. On a side note, I understand that the font was likely chosen to match the visual style of the artwork, but it made it somewhat difficult to distinguish between certain letters—specifically, (i) C and G, and (ii) V and Y.
