good combination?





i think so

Bonfire Night celebrates the failure of the gunpowder plot to blow up the House of Lords during the State Opening of England's Parliament, which means it can therefore also represent the survival of democracy in the UK at that time, such as it was back then.

The mask from V for Vendetta has, especially in recent years, come to represent anarchism and anti-establishment protest in general, and is based on a stylised depiction of Guy Fawkes.

There is some overlap between the two issues, especially where protest is about the failure of democratic systems, but there are also some areas where the two concepts don't work together, because Bonfire Night can be seen as the celebration of a failed piece of anarchism (unless the continued celebrations can be regarded as a successful legacy for Guy Fawkes and his colleagues?).

It's probably therefore down to the view of the individual, which is probably the objective that both concepts would seek to achieve anyway, so everyone's happy. Chances are, that's also why this combination continues to this day!!

Happy Bonfire Night
