Thesis: Children of Men and V for Vendetta: Narrative

Birth

  •  Children of Men: Birth of the new baby: Baby Being Born: Actual birth
  • V for Vendetta: Birth of new character development; God is in the Rain scene: Spiritual Birth
Redemption
  • V's changing the government
  • Theo determined to get Kee to safety due to his child dying
Terrorism vs State Control

  • Is V a terrorist of freedom fighter? Oppressive, fascist government, controlling the public; curfews/media/propaganda
  • Children of Men under fascist totalitarian government = oppression

Complicated stock characters; Theo vs V

Both have a female protagonist

V conveys more heroic stock character elements that Theo due to the realism in the film Children of Men.

Messages and Values:

V= warning
Children of Men = hope


Oedipal Complex


  • Father figure = Jasper in Children of Men / Diestrich in V for Vendetta
