Gender Representation in V for Vendetta

Mother/father roles
Scenes that demonstrate birth

Opedial Complex; father/mother/nurturer role:V cooking for Evie, looking after her; taking the mother role.

Oedipal Complex; we know that Evie is going to Dietrich (her boss)'s house after curfew, however she almost gets raped; looking for a father figure

Opedial Complex; Evie's parents get kidnapped

Psycho-sexual aspects; phallic and yonic; men act, women appear; birth/procreation; hyper-masculinity: Evie and V's juxtaposition rebirthing scene; God is in the rain; phallic and yonic imagery; V emasculated with his vengeance, Evie revived and enjoying her freedom.

Hyper-masculinity: Evie gets her head shaved; de-feminised, becomes more masculine with her characteristics



-Hyper-masculinity 

-Phallic and yonic imagery
 Phallic imagery; the hammer in Thor; standing upright, if laying down = flaccid
 A rose is a yonic symbol; significant in V for Vendetta, V uses them when he kills people. V was birthed out of hate; he was experimented on due to going against the norms; hated; muslim, disagreed with the government, homosexual, diseased/disabled, not white; he had revenge upon these people.

-Mother/father/birth/procreation/nurturer
 V is birthed out of hate.

-Oedipal Complex 
 The idea of looking towards your mother or father figure in your partner

-Men act / women appear; voyeurism, women to be looked at 
 Current;y, men can appear and women can act for the female point of view.
