V for Vendetta

I believe that V represents more of a freedom fighter rather than a terrorist, although some of V’s actions are based off of revenge and are questionable. One of the reasons I see V as a freedom fighter is because he wants to show people a sign of freedom, to show them that they shouldn’t be afraid of their government and ruled by their fear of the government. If the government was brought down by V then the public would be free from the government treating them poorly and free from their constant fear of them. When V blew up the buildings he wasn’t anybody inside which he could have easily done, It was also stated that V destroys the buildings to show a sign of hope and justice to the public. When Creedy and the Chancellor were killed by V he killed them because of the things they did and because they didn’t treat the public fairly, they treated a large amount of the public like lab rat’s, bringing them to the concentration camps and doing test’s on them. Near the end of the movie when Evey asked V why he did what he did throughout the movie he responded with “violence can be used for good”, V’s actions were used for the good of the public, because he wanted people to be treated fairly, that quote was one thing that convinced me to think of V as a freedom fighter.
