One man's terrorist can be seen as another man's freedom fighter. Terrorism—the use of violence and intimidation against civilians in the pursuit of political aims—is one of the novel's most prominent themes. While the Norsefire government refers to V as a terrorist, it can be argued that the tactics of the government are a greater form of terrorism, as V seeks to liberate the people while the Norsefire party works to suppress dissent. In this way, the novel illustrates how terrorism is used by states as well as individuals. I think the narrative supports much more sympathy for V than the State.
