Brief Analysis:

Government is another essential component that can be used to bring a viewer to attention. V For Vendetta tells the story of a mild-mannered young woman named Evey who is rescued from a life-and-death situation by a masked vigilante known only as "V." He destroys two London landmarks and takes over the government-controlled airwaves, urging his fellow citizens to rise up against tyranny and oppression. Evey understands the misconceptions of the government. She also fears life itself, for she has been manipulated by the government. V falls in love with her and punishes her in a brutal way that than allows her to concur her fear. She eventually, falls in love with him as well. 

Love Battle:

As for Evey. Here is someone V supposedly loves, yet he tortures her physically and psychologically. Evey clearly disagrees with V's strategy, it's why she leaves him in the first place. Only when she is tortured and manipulated into seeing V's point of view is she allowed back. If V's cause is just, his views correct, why does he have to resort to such extremes to convince people of this?

" Justice and freedom, are more than just the ability to speak, it is but a perspective."

Realization:

As Evey uncovers the truth about V's mysterious background, she also discovers the truth about herself - and emerges as his unlikely ally in the culmination of his plot to bring freedom and justice back to a society fraught with cruelty and corruption. The people than realize that freedom is only gained and truly understood if there is no fear, put into the people in the first place. 

Conclusion:

As November the 5th, the day V says he and those who will follow him will stand up to the government once and for all approaches, Detective Finch becomes more and more determined to uncover the truth about V, however his search leads him to ask to question whether or not he is on the right side.
