| | Who is Guy Fawkes? |
| | With the idea of Guy Fawkes, Moore was able to crystallize his vision of who V was and helped give Moore further inspiration towards the themes of rebellion and revolution that exists in the novel. | | | The short answer is this: Guy (alias Guido) Fawkes was one of the members of The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 in which a group of Catholics attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament and kill James I, the King of England, to protest Protestant rule. | | | They also discovered Fawkes, who was standing guard, and on his person they found all the tools necessary to light the gunpowder. |

| | Both Roman and Christian cultures absorbed this particular bonfire tradition, but later it was switched away from its pagan roots to other uses, such as an unlikely celebration of Guy Fawkes. | | | The first official Guy Fawkes' Night bonfire was lit on the night of the Gunpowder Plot on 5 November 1605, when Londoners joyfully lit fires in gratitude for their king being safe. | | | The ritual of fireworks is inextricably linked with Guy Fawkes' Night, but their origin is 6th-century China where, it is said, a cook had accidentally mixed and lit three common kitchen ingredients (potassium nitrate or saltpetre, sulphur and charcoal) within a bamboo shoot. |

| | A modern theory regarding the involvement of Guy Fawkes in the Gunpower Plot is that he was not trying to blow up the Houses of Parliament at all, but merely attempting to assassinate King James who, it was believed, had reneged on his promise to put a stop to the persecution of Catholics. | | | Today, the celebration of Guy Fawkes and his failed plot remains a tradition in such places as Newfoundland (Canada) and some areas of New Zealand, in addition to the British Isles. | | | Even to this day, it is the law that no Roman Catholic may hold the office of monarch and the reigning king or queen remains Supreme Head of the Church of England. |
