What significant examples are there of gender roles in the characters?
This moment when Evey comes through the door could be yonic imagery which could represented Evey being born again as she has got rid of her fear. Also she has lost her femininity as she has had her hair shaven, with in turn has given her power and strength.
V is cradling her head which would be as if he was her father figure because he's protecting her when she's vulnerable and in an emotional state. He's gets down to her level in order to sympathise with her and connect with her.
He tries to shelter her from the rain with his coat, this is yet again another relation to a father figure symbol. But she refused to wear it, almost as if to say she doesn't want to be sheltered anymore.
This image represents Evey showing power and strength and she has been released from her imprisonment. It also shows how she's reborn again as it relates to baptism because she is baptised by the rain. She is looked on by V so this could again be a father figure symbol.
