POINTS for analysis
"Men act, Women appear"?
V acts, Evey is nearly raped, tortured then finally acts when she becomes masculine.
(Action Hero) Hypermasculinity?
V & Theo 'naturally' protect the women. V has superhuman physical powers. Theo faces an army without any physical confrontation - scampers like a rat.
(Sex Object) Objectification of women?
Evey is dressed up for her liason with her boss, she is dressed up as bait for the Bishop. Kee is naked to show her pregnancy - is she sexualised?
Psychosexual analysis - Phallic/Yonic imagery - tunnel, train, penetration, male castration
Theo's rebirth at the start of the Long Take. V uses roses, gloves & knives/swords. Creedy's gun runs out of bullets. Guns & Tanks during the 'uprising'
Mother/nurturer? (metaphorical birth/rebirth)
Evey Births the Revolution, Kee births the baby and hope for the future, The Dr births V with the experiments
Father/Procreation - 'the fatherland?)
Theo is the failed father seeking redemption, Sutler is the Chancellor (Hitler) with England as the Fatherland, Jasper is the Father figure to Theo, V is the spiritual father to Evey
Dystopian representation of British National Identity - (Empire, Nationalism, Facism, Repressed emotions, Non-confrontational?) 'Fugees' are locked up, beaten, tortured. Suicide, hopelessness and technology to escape.
