I disagree with the way the novel presents resistance and revolution to change society due to the fact that they resort to killing. I understand that the people being killed are villains, and some may even deserve to be killed, it shouldn’t be up to V whether or not it is right to kill them. In a certain passage V sends his friend Evey to Bishop Lilliman, who apparently takes advantage of little girls, which is extremely inappropriate and something he should definitely be punished for. V takes the matter into his own hands, with the help of Evey, forces the Bishop to swallow a poisonous communion wafer, which is undoubtedly not the way to deal with society. Later on Evey agrees saying, “ V, I didn’t know you were going to kill him!” I agree with Evey completely, because although V is on the right path in his ideals and plans, he is executing them completely incorrectly.
The graphic novel format used in comics, is extremely weird and takes a little getting used to, but I definitely realize its ability to give an added dimension to the story. A passage in which I believe the images were truly crucial in terms of understanding the comic was during the reading of the diary, as Mr. Finch explains it to the leader. Some of the images included in this section really give you an added dimension into what was going on at this camp, and the explosions and such, which occurred there. I found the most important picture to be the one of V in room V with all of the supplies masterfully distributed around the room, giving you a clear understanding of how he performed this incredible task. An additional passage in which I was able to stop and enjoy the images, was the killing of the Bishop. Through the pictures I was able to have a better understanding as to how he was actually able to accomplish his task. Overall, I believe the addition of pictures gives an added benefit in terms of clarification and also may provide a alternative method in terms of description during a novel.
