Objectification of Women

Women in 'V for Vendetta' and 'Children of Men' are represented differently, for example in Children of Men the women are represented as vulnerable and should be protected. This is shown throughout most of the film when the main protagonist protects the only pregnant women for years, she is shown as fragile and scared, only with the help of the main protagonist, a male, she is saved. 

However, in V for Vendetta, one of the main protagonists, Evie, is a women, therefore the representation of women is different because Evie is seen as an action women. But this is only possible after she overcomes the torture that she is put through by the male protagonist, V. During this time of the film she is only able to gain her strength when she has overcome her fear of dying.

The main female character in Children of Men, who is pregnant, could represent the future dystopian Britain because even though the views are corrupt, she shows hope with the idea that a baby can be born. Without her, there would be no quest for the hero to finish and nothing to unite the nation.

Evie from V for Vendetta could represent the country being reborn again. This is shown through the scene with V after Evie finds out the V was the one who tortured her. She is able to gain strength back after she is 'baptised' with the rain. She also refuses shelter from V which shows that she's the dominant character in the scene.
