In V for Vendetta the stock characters are complex. Barely any of the characters fit into one catergory. This is because it generates mystery, it makes the audience think and take into account the narrative. This helps to portray the message of the film; to not trust your government etc. This film therefore is more like reality, which relates to the audiences situation more; in reality people do not easily it into these stock character types.
A typical Hollywood film usually will follow the character types exactly
V
black night character: wears a lot of black clothing
The anti hero: one with good intentions but his morals are not right
Lone vigilante
Hero : fighting for justice, willing to sacrifice himself
Tragic hero: having a quality leaving to his downfall, for V this is his revenge
Noble night on a quest
Villain: he is essentially a terrorist.
