V

   In the beginning of the novel when V saves Evey, V seemed to be a heroic character that acts on justice. Later on, after the murders of Delia and the Bishop V's character is revealed more as a psychotic killer. Yet, these killings were still for justice. V's methods, a.k.a. killing, are very powerful strategies in resisting societal change. Although, they might be too intense of a resistance to be deemed as a convincing or approving method to resist change in society. Even though the people he planned on killing were part of a gruesome human experimental project, killing them would not take back the conducted experiments.
   V not only resists the changes in society, but he does not live by them or recognize them in his life. For example, his lair is filled with a complete works of "old" movies and books that were banned in a sense after the war. He does not allow the new ways of society influence himself by living with the things present society does not except. The fascist ideals of the present society have changed the way people live in a negative way. Thus, V's attempt to resist this enforcing power of the "Leader" seems fitting or convincing.  

   One section of the novel that made me stop and pay closer attention to the graphics, rather than the text was the scene where V was giving a tour of the replica resettlement camp to Prothero. The specific part of this scene that made me focus on the pictures was the illustration of the door with the roman numeral five on it. The drawing was shown twice in a row, with the second picture zooming in on the roman numeral five. Because the author decided to show it twice and zoom in on the number symbolizes its importance. It is within this moment that the reader will realize how V came up with his "code-name." This is an example of how pictures can make a novel more engaging, in this case, it can explain a significant part of the story without words.

   A second section of the novel that made me stop and pay closer attention to the graphics, rather than the text was the scene where V was having a conversation with the Madam Justice statue. The scene takes up two pages of the novel and is very detailed. The pictures depict each move and action V makes, which pulled my attention away from the text.
