The speaker in "V for Vendetta" is stating that the every day life of London is the same routine schedule daily.The city is ran under a totalitarian government which gives everyone the same daily life. Vendetta says."I do like many of you, appreciate the comforts of the everyday routine, the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition." This simply means everyday is the same, and nothing changes. He is talking in a soothing and calm tone to relate to the people in a concept they can understand. Next, the speaker uses Aristotle's mode of persuasion called pathos. Pathos is V's way of appealing to the audiences emotions by relating to their the way of life and daily routine. This is an evaluation argument because he is trying to get the people to understand and realize that the situation the government has forced them to be in is far more serious than they accept it as.
In this paragraph V is depicting the government by stating that the government uses weapons and force to show the people that the use of words is not needed when you have complete control. The government uses their power such as the ability to speak without words to make the people realize and understand who is in control. This is a forensic argument because V is explaining to the people of London how the government is mistreating them. When V says," I suspect even now orders are being shouted into telephones and men with guns will soon be on their way." He is trying to make sense to the people and show them the truth of what's really happening in their country. This quote had characteristics of Aristotle's logos. Vendetta wants the people to realize that the government does not want the people to know the truth, and what their intentions are.
Vendetta wants the people to understand what they use to have and what they have now. He tells them that before this happened to their country they had the freedom to state an opinion and speak their mind freely. In the present days of their country they have restrictions and laws about what they can say. V speaks with a very blameful an straight forward tone. He uses an evaluation argument when he says," If you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror." V is placing the blame on the people which makes this an evaluation argument. Next, the speaker uses Aristotle's mode of persuasion called logos. He does this by giving evidence and stating the truth about how the government rules the people and uses their power in a negative way.
V uses an evaluation argument to explain to the people that the government is robbing them of their freedoms. He says." There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense."V is explaining to the people why they never tried to stop the governments reign in power over them. The tone vendetta is giving is more critical and harsh. The mode of persuasion V uses is logos. He does this by giving evidence to the people about how they never tried to stop the government.
The argument this paragraph presents is means to an end. V starts his speech presenting a problem and now he's resolving it by destruction and asking the people to act with him V says,"Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey to remind this country of what it has forgotten." He is trying to convince the people to remember the fifth of November and get back what it has lost. To realize the crimes that the government had commited. The mode of persuasion used is pathos. He says," But if you see what I see ,if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek...then I ask you to stand beside me, one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament. His tone is conclusive and longing for help. He is persuading the people to act with him to change their government.
