English Alan Moore wrote V For Vendetta between the years 1988, 1989 and 1990 for DC Comics. The great author of From Hell Watchmen or V for Vendetta book with a new gem. Marked by the Thatcher government, and haunted by the totalitarian excesses of this century, Moore uses the superhero figure to erect freedom absolute. The work's full gathers 261 pages divided into 3 acts as a play. Under his austere below comics with the hard and dark line of David Lloyd, the English story deserves more than just the graphic novel qualifier. With a hallucinating density, highly clever way, building a seamless and memorable V, V For Vendetta is the natural choice as the ultimate masterpiece of contemporary literature. A necessary reminder of the Gunpowder Plot of Guy Fawkes and the value of symbols.

England presented by Moore no longer face that has seen him. Democracy has given way to the oppression of the totalitarian regime headed by Commander Adam Susan and colleagues. Thus various institutions are charged with spying and controlling the average citizen, cameras of the Eye to Ear Listens through the voice of Destiny. Following the chaos that followed the war in the world, the English people was brought to power by tyrants who rule from fear, violence and repression. The little Evey Hammond aged 16 survives difficult, to the point of having to monetize its services to other men. Unfortunately, it falls on the Main officers at its first pass who, not content to stop, attempt to rape her. This however will not happen, for a man concealed by a long cape and a Guy Fawkes mask came to his aid. The life of the young woman just switch without her being aware.

V For Vendetta is conceived as a vaudeville theater separated into 3 major acts. Europe after the rule sets the scene and introduces the characters and issues. V makes it emerged from the first pages. With this figure, Moore gives free rein to his literary genius and pleasure. V appears first as a man who demanded vengeance. Victim of the atrocities of the government, it is both hunter and prey. It also illustrates a paradox quite disturbing and only Alan Moore could negotiate that of the thin line between hero killer, the monster of the symbol. Component a character boundless erudition and great charisma, the author not only to the heart of the superhero but especially in the heart of humanity. V is a superman in the proper sense of the term, exacerbating everything that makes up the human being, from passion to love, hate to determination. By choosing to never show it, never expose us his face, Moore gives a kind of sanctity to his hero. He is a symbol of V before being an individual and that of the first to the last pages. Yet V disturbs. V focuses the sum of the horrors they subjected him. V is not one of those mundane heroism encountered elsewhere. Killer as a terrorist, he plays the tightrope, a perilous balancing act where Moore tries to prove that any action, any company can take to that which chooses to venture on the part of humanity inscribed in his being. In fact, to some degree, V appears cold, inhuman with that fixed smile. As soon as that feeling in the reader's mind that is swept by the tirades of V, for his motives and purposes. Rarely a literary figure was as striking and V illustrates perfectly the example of a character perfectly designed and directed. In the first act, we find ourselves at the heart of a thriller. The challenge is V, its identity and the reasons for the various murders he commits. Ignoble individuals such as Lilliman father, Lewis Prothero or Dr. Delia through the narrative. The second act is devoted to her adventures and the workings of the English society of the time. Waltz Vice opens besides on a long partition where Moore takes his story as a poem, a tragic tale. There is no question of detective in this part but learning, the D'Evey Hammond. Young girl of 16 who lived the upheaval of the English regime, innocent and naive face, Evey learns alongside V. Where does the lesson and begins indoctrination? Again, Moore is blurring the boundaries fluctuate in the pages about but never weakens. Last act and conclusion, The Land of Make-what-you-please proves a practice of meticulous plan V, an experiment literary greatness of anarchy. Last tragic pane, last dramatic aspect but above all sublime last pane.

Besides the character of V and Evey D'addition impeccable narrative construction with this division into acts then chapters - all starting with the letter V - V For Vendetta is buzzing with ideas. As said earlier, few as dense works that comics. If the character of V could almost be sufficient to fill the reader, Alan Moore does not stop there. Marked by various totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century, the English takes a very bad eye Thatcher iron government. Under this influence, Moore makes V For Vendetta is a clear political ideas. And more.

Of Hitler, Stalin or Italian scheme, it is obviously pointing the description of the English government of V For Vendetta has nothing to envy. This will be the first act in the two chapters Vaudeville and Vortex that this denunciation of the totalitarian horror erupts. The fascists treating such men locked plastic dolls, even with less consideration. The reconstruction of Chapter V remains as Vaudeville shifted qu'effroyable. Yet it was not until chapter Vortex that Moore presents the Larkhill camp and the horrors committed by scientists and men of government. Terribly shocking and disturbing the narrative he chooses - a torturer - it delivers on these pages condensed violent barbarians atrocities of humanity, throws it to the front of the player and it seems to mean that you should never forget. These same accusations are found in the various regulatory agencies and in the tirades of V at length on terror that invaded the old Albion.

But the writer goes further. He accuses and condemns the people themselves. A passive people who forgot that the power lies in his hands. These silent majorities required by fear and hate and do not dare. Only V seems daring. Only he wants to raise the wall of silence that has spilled the regime on the head of his countrymen. To free people from their wait, to provoke rebellion, he intends to instill chaos. Here, Moore developed her idea of ​​anarchism. An anarchist in the true sense, rebuilding shave, giving the freedom to choose the men and see what comes out. The outcome remains uncertain course, but it is better than the condition of oppression. The people must act, must rise. The people should be feared and not fear. This idea, as strong as simple, today becomes of paramount importance. In front of democracies increasingly illusory and binding, to hard and questionable leaders, V For Vendetta is a disturbing echo.

Other themes are, first that of justice. A state without justice is nothing. One day or the other, injustice will bring down the country. Alan Moore the opportunity to stage a confrontation between Lady Justice and V. One-way duel where the farcical hero gives voice to the statue. Formidable tirade brilliantly introduced in opposition to the speech of the commander, the notion of justice quickly casts its shadow on the story as much on a personal level at societal level. Long before the dominance of television, Moore criticizes the media. He makes the instrument of domination, a terrible cold and opponent of humanity as a whole. The government lulls the masses with this technology support. One thing that seems really important right now.

Homosexuality - and sexual freedom in general - have always occupied a large pan of the author's concerns (think his Hypnotized), himself very libertine. In V For Vendetta and in response to the government of the Iron Lady, Moore delivers his more flamboyant and impressive advocacy. Through Valerie, a lesbian experimentation deported to a camp because of his sexual inclinations, the writer methodically destroyed homophobia. It makes disgusting and unacceptable, vile and low as we should never otherwise consider. His ability to touch the most just, and sharpened his poetic words, and especially his way of asking the right questions (Why are they so afraid of us?) Infuse the letter Valerie incomparable strength. This irrational fear of foreigners, of what we do not know does not appear different from ordinary racism, so detestable, as révulsant. The tragic fate of Valerie changes forever the vision and plans of the drive V For Vendetta in another condition, that of the essential. Add the violent attack against the Church and pedophilia at a time when the taboo was the rule, and we understand how Alan Moore, like his hero dares where others dare not.

Finally, beyond the freedom, the fight against homophobia, vision, anarchism, responsibility, justice, Moore explores insanity. Passage marking than the Finch inspector under the influence of LSD and that seems to relive what happened to V. Because mentally, only a fool can go that far. At least that's what think Finch. The truth expounded by the English author is however more complex. Only man driven to madness can uncover the prison surroundings. A world where happiness stifling fogs the mind and obscures the essential, this cherished freedom. V For Vendetta is because it not the vision of a madman? Totalitarianism is not it the fulfillment of madness? The man in the end, he does not hide his madness under the veneer of society?

This monstrous work, monumental, marks its reader with a hot iron. V For Vendetta brings the genius of Alan Moore and meets uncluttered line, hard and dark David Lloyd to explode as a masterpiece. Of incomparable density of a formidable about accuracy, this true graphic novel itself as an indispensable, an unmissable. V For Vendetta should be a must read, to put all hands. His unforgettable hero is only the avatar, the symbol of freedom. From the pen of Alan Moore, V acquires immortality and transcends genres. Written in 1990, the story has not lost its intensity or its accuracy. Rather since at present, given the policies that govern us, our society and the unstable climate that we opressent, V For Vendetta has never been more vital.
