The character “V” in the movie “V For Vendetta” is a menace to the government. However, to the free people of London , he is a hero. In his speech to the people of London he shows of his sides.
“V” starts off his speech to the people of London by laying down a foundation of ethos. He wants to relate to all the people who enjoy the tranquility and peace of the city of London. He begins to evaluate commemoration. He says that we only celebrate specific days because some one dies. His tone quickly swiches from sympathetic to unsympathetic.
“V goes on to appeal to the citizens emotions by telling them that there are certain people who do not want them to speak up for themselves or against their government. He provides evidence of this by saying that men with guns are probably coming to stop him from giving his speech.
“V” also tries to make the citizen of London realize that their privacy , the thing they cherish the most is being taken away from them. He supports this claim by saying that there are now censors and surveillance systems. “V” tells his audience that if they are looking for someone to blame for what is happening, they need to blame themselves.
“V” also evaluates the high chancellor of the city. He reminds the people of London that the chancellor has promised them everything the could possibly imagine and ask them for their loyal silence in return. And he has yet to deliver anything that he has promised.
The speaker “v” wants to end the people of London’s silence, so he tells them that he blew up the central court building in London called Old Bailey. He starts to give them facts about a citizen who tried to make the fifth of November memorable over 400 years back. He closes the door with pathos by saying if the citzens relate to him they should help make the 5Th of November a day that will never be forgotten.
