David’s Evil-er Than Most Blog

Well, turns out I was right, again. The book finishes itself in a great culmination of understanding. I can’t give away any plot details, but the story suddenly became a lot clearer in the last few pages. Eveyone’s role flips around, and we see what the world is like through the eyes of a madman. the art in these last few pages also makes a huge impact. Dramatic shadowing, non-inclosed facial shots, all those pretentious sounding artisitic terms are in full force to wrap up this book.Not only that, but the way that the author overlaps the propaganda in the background with the speech in the foreground is very convining of a tyrannically run England. The only bad thing i can say about this book is that the coloring makes it somewhat hard to distinguish what character is which, since they all wear long coats, rarely says names, and have the same hair. the only easily identified characters are Evey and V. Maybe there’s a reason for that…

Speaking of various character choices, my suspicions were confirmed. *MINOR SPOILERS* Evey is just as much a main character as V is. Over the course of the book, she is educated in very mentally forcefull ways, and by the end of the book, picks up the sword herself. She is as much as, if not more so, a main character as V himself. This book shows that, in anarchy, it is not the person doing the revolution, but the idea leading the way.
