I recently finished reading V for vendetta. I really liked this book. The story takes place in a dystopic kind of world in Britain, during the late 1900s. The government gives people no freedom. The type of government is totalitarianism. This means that the government, under the rule of one person or many people, doesn’t have any limits to its power, and strives to regulate and watch every aspect of everyone’s lives, public and private. In the book, there is a fascist party called Norsefire, who govern Britain. The main character is a revolutionary who supports anarchy and begins a campaign to destroy the fascist party and their dictatorship.
The book obviously depicts what a world would be like if we didn’t have the freedoms we have today. It shows what would happen if our world was ruled by a dictator. There are so many freedoms that we consider basic rights but a lot of them can be taken away. But one thing that cannot be taken away from people is the freedom of thought, and people can still find a way out of dictatorships. People can fight for their freedoms. We have the freedom of decision. Throughout history there have been tyrants and dictators in several countries in our world, but they were overthrown. However tyranny, dictatorships, and corruption are no thing of the past, they still exist today. We witnessed the revolution in Egypt, so we know that we have the power to win freedom for ourselves, and for others.
