V for Vendetta Part Two/End

The second half of V for Vendetta is much better than the first in my opinion. The pacing picks up, and of course, the climax of the novel is revealed. Evey's imprisonment was a very intriguing scene. While it obviously was an extreme/psychotic method to get V's message across, it still succeeded in its intentions. I believe this message was that no one has control over you and that you decide your own freedom/fate. This is basically the main theme of the novel. A great example would be Finch's LSD trip. It showed what was probably the general public's feelings towards what the government had done to the minorities of Britain. Finch's breakthrough was unique in that he finally realized the freedom that V and Evey experienced, yet it didn't seem like Finch knew how to handle such liberties, which is why he still carried out the order of finding and killing V, and also becoming a recluse and detached from society.
V's death didn't really come as a surprise to me. It was almost as if he had to die to strengthen his ideals and guarantee that his goal would be achieved. V had done what he set out to do and once that was completed, there wasn't much else for him to live for. When Evey took over the persona of V, honestly, that didn't surprise me either. I guess to some it would be disappointing to have such a predictable ending, but I find it better than someone leading up to a conclusion only to throw in some crazy plot twist that completely screws up all the development that you put into the story so far, but maybe that's just me.
