Remember Remember - ALLITERATION!

Today, being the Fifth Of November, (ironically the day after our election) reminds me and the rest of the relevant world that political ruin can happen, and that our government is supposed to be for the people by the people.

BUT - one of my favorite and probably less appreciated part of V for Vendetta is the genius use of alliteration. Not many people pay attention to such a thing, but me being an English major and Journalism minor, I do.

"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."
