V said: Remember, remember the 5th of November. The gunpowder, treason, and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.
Evey Hammond said: Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot… But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas, I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them… but you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it, or hold it… ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love… And it is not an idea that I miss, it is a man… A man that made me remember the Fifth of November. A man that I will never forget.
Guess who I'm going to work as?

A ninja turtle! 😀
Still confused about this holiday.
I don’t get what this is o-O
Go search up “Guy Fawkes Night” on Wikipedia, then search up “V for Vendetta” 😛
I still don’t get why Guy Fawkes shaved Evey Hammond’s hair when he got to her before the Norsefire regime did, then tortured her.
A celebration for the downfall of a plot to burn down the Parliament building?
Like an anti-celebration?
Zappy, he did that to teach her with “tough love”. Courage is something you can’t be learned from others; you have to learn it on your own. V taught Evey this courage personally so he did not have to risk losing her, as she would have been killed if this was all done in the hands of the Chancellor.
Evey. Her name was a pokemon name 🙂
Well, it wasn’t Guy Fawkes, it was V.
He did it so she would no longer feel fear, having had her head shaved, been beaten, tortured, and left alone all at the hands of The Fingers lead by Mr. Creedy (Or so she thought).
V for Vendetta was epic. But I still didn’t understand it. And then trying to read about it made my brain hurt. So yea what I’m trying to say is I have no idea whats going on.
