A lot of questions about Vs actions and use of violence arise while reading V for Vendetta. Many question whether or not his use of violence as revenge is morally justified. It is agreed that there is something wrong with their government and something has to be done for it to change, but is violence really the answer? In Vs mind, he believes violence can be used for good, and through violence, he hopes for change and freedom of the people. The book seems to support the motivation behind Vs revenge, which can be seen through his past with Larkhill Resettlement Camp, his utilitarian practicality, and the destructive government. To begin, many seek revenge on those who have done them wrong, in Vs case it is those from Larkhill Resettlement Camp who stripped his identity away and turned him into a science experiment. Just like the Nazi movement, Larkhill was created by Norsefire to hold political prisoners, homosexuals, Black people, Jewish people, Muslims, Indians, Pakistanis, and others deemed undesirable by the gov’t (V for Vendetta Wiki). They basically just took everyone that did not fit their perfect mol
d of a respectful, white, and straight person, and exterminated them. This was run by a military officer, Commander Lewis Prothero, who took those individuals for torture, humiliation, scientific experiments, and extermination, which caused when to die horrific deaths. Those running the camp had no mercy for anyone there, this is evident on page 33 when V says to Prothero, & how you can show so much concern for porcelain and plastic& and show so little for flesh and blood. (Moore) V was a part of Dr. Delia Surridges science experiment, she designed a chemical hormone treatment known as Batch 5 and began distributing to select prisoners (DC Database) Room 5 belonged to V, Dr. Surridges ideal subject. Due to the torture and the excessive number of drugs he was fed during his time at the camp, Vs mind was nonetheless warped, which causes his twisted logic of revenge. Due to the drugs, he didnt remember his name, or where he was from, and his body and face were left completely warped. They caused him years of pain and basically took his whole life away to fulfill their experimental needs which changed him forever.
