    After reading The Nazi Seizure of Power By William Sheridan Allen, I completely agree with the author's thesis, and I liked how he went about supporting it in his book. One might think that given what the author was trying to support, that this would be a book full of bland and dry facts, however, since Allen focused on the Village of Northeim alone, it was easier for him to shape the text into a story. He begins the book by giving the reader an overview of the history and layout of Northeim. This information is crucial to understanding how the Nazi party could so quickly and so abruptly take political control of such a seemingly stable village. When Allen is still just introducing some of the many qualities and social structures of Northeim,

  • Moral Vigilantism In Alan Moore's V For Vendetta

    723 Words  | 3 Pages

    Alan Moore brings forth a morally ambivalent protagonist in V for Vendetta, wherein a mysterious hero by the name of V exhibits moral vigilantism to combat the bigoted and totalitarian government that has overtaken London. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a hero is a “person admired for achievements and noble qualities” or “one who shows great courage,” a definition redolent of V’s valiant actions to overthrow the oppressive Norsefire regime, which serves as the villain that “opposes the hero.” To achieve his means of freeing society from the villain Norsefire’s tyranny, V makes a series of ethically equivocal decisions, including murder, torture, and revenge. However, despite utilizing violence in his endeavors, V is indeed a hero due to his vigilantism opposing corruption and recalcitrant actions responding to Norsefire’s breach of societal obligation in properly administering a justice system. Moore’s characterization of authoritative figures within Norsefire advocates their role as villains due to their immoral motivations behind being officials; V’s opposition and movement to end their reign brings him forth as a hero and insurgent of society.

    Early in the film, the importance of background music and its use can be seen. The music is used to create the mood, whether it be the eerie violin audio that often can be heard at times where suspense is anticipated or the same music to create sorrow for the overall significance of the film. The film being built upon a murder case creates fury and differing viewpoints between the main characters which often can be related to prejudice. The use of details not only makes the murder more interesting but also the overall scene more intense. The detailed dialogue among the characters is so precise it offers minute details such as the witness statement of the time of the crime, the entry way of the weapon, and the witness testifying without her glasses.
