As an example of man vs. society I have chosen to use the movie “V for Vendetta”. In this movie the main character “V” as he develops in the movie stands up against his newly elected totalitarian government. V goes about standing up against this government by using several acts of terrorism. He says in the movie that “People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people." Totalitarianism is basically when a government seeks to control everything from political and economic matters, to the beliefs, values and attitudes of its people. The society in “V for Vendetta” is being forced to do everything that the totalitarian government wants them to do. Man vs. society is when a figure disagrees with a society's laws, values, or beliefs. So now when we look at it there is “V” vs. The Government.
