This is a college paper. About V for Vendetta. and Bioshock. xD
Dystopic Martyrs: Themes of Self-Sacrifice in V for Vendetta and Bioshock It is a familiar image, a story we have all heard. It has happened in real life, and has been portrayed in many stories at many times throughout history. From Star Wars to Frankenstein, to Wagner’s Ring Cycle to the stories of the Bible, the theme of self sacrifice runs deep. In all of these such stories, a person is forced to give their life for a greater good in order to find redemption for something that has been done; in some cases the crimes have been committed by others and in some cases by the person themselves, but it always ends up in a similar skein. Darth Vader’s death at the end of Return of the Jedi, Victor’s submission and death at the end of Frankenstein, Siegfried’s heroic last stand in his self-titled opera, and Jesus Christ’s death on the cross for the absolvement of the sins of mankind are all examples of how this universal story can play out. Both the movie V for Vendetta and the video game Bioshock use the theme of self-sacrifice as a major plot device. While it may at first seem that these are two very different stories told in two different medias from differing points of view, and that they are irrelevant to each other, they in fact share many qualities and plot points that reveal a unified proposal for dealing with a dystopian society: Only with the complete destruction of everything affiliated with the corruption of a dystopia can anything truly new and good arise, and only through self sacrifice can a person who has been involved in such a situation bring about this necessary annihilation. V for Vendetta and Bioshock are atypical to the dystopian norm, in that they not only serve as a warning, presenting a problem in the form of a dystopia, but they also (through their storylines) present a way of correcting the mistakes that they warn against. In Bioshock’s alternate mid-20th century setting, the art-deco city of Rapture is founded under the ocean by a man named Andrew Ryan, to create a society based on objectivist ideals: unhindered capitalism, complete personal freedom, and freedom from oppressive government. However, as is typical in dystopic settings, things quickly went wrong after the city’s founding. In the time immediately before the game begins, genetic research has run amok, leading to the breakdown of society and the beginning of a civil war between Ryan and a man named Frank Fontaine. The protagonist, Jack – a genetically altered creation of Fontaine’s – is imprinted with false memories and dropped into Rapture as an unknowing part of the war, intended to kill Ryan and give Fontaine control of the city. However, here Bioshock offers a solution to the problem of Rapture: Ryan realizes what has happened and, over the course of a long monologue, repents and regrets what has happened to Rapture. He does not attempt to kill or run from Jack, but instead realizes that he must die to solve the problems he has created; he reveals to Jack the truth about Fontaine and who Jack really is, and then orders Jack to kill him. By sacrificing himself in this particular way, he allows Jack to resist, confront, and defeat Fontaine, removing both of the parties (Ryan and Fontaine) which had brought evil to Rapture in the first place. V for Vendetta offers the same solution to dystopia: In Alan Moore’s alternate history of Britain, a masked terrorist named V murders people and blows up buildings in order to effect the overthrow of a corrupt, totalitarian, extremely conservative religious government which is responsible for population purges, horrible human experiments, and a prison fire which disfigured V himself. With his assistant and protégé Evey Hammond he takes revenge on the members of the government who hurt him and the people. At the end of the movie, V attempts the destruction of Parliament, and it is here that the idea of necessary total destruction through self sacrifice becomes evident. V places Evey on the train with the explosives and runs off to confront Sutler and Creedy, stating: “The time has come for me to meet my maker, and to repay him in kind for all that he's done” (V for Vendetta). There is a double entendre in this sentence. By using the phrase “meet my maker”, V reveals that he both intends to confront and kill Sutler (who “made” V what he is), and that he intends to die in the process. By eliminating the government and himself at the same time, he destroys all of the factors that created the violence in the first place: The government is no longer around to oppress the people, and V is no longer around to commit acts of terrorism. Dying becomes the only way that V can truly leave the future free of taint from Sutler’s regime. These two works have other similarities as well that help to enhance this point. Both V for Vendetta and Bioshock have “turncoat” characters who start off siding with the dystopian regime, but who are innately good and have misgivings about what they are doing throughout the course of the movie; at the moment of sacrifice they come to the realization that they are not the same as the regime and turn on it, redeeming themselves and symbolizing the destruction of the dystopia and the success and hope for the future. In Bioshock the turncoat character is Dr. Tenenbaum; Tenenbaum was one of the people at the heart of the misguided genetics research, but she has always felt that it was going too far (she is the creator of the Little Sisters, genetically modified girls tasked with the collection of the mutagen that makes Rapture tick). As soon as Ryan is dead and Jack tries to escape, Tenenbaum decides to help and save the few redeemable parts of Rapture. She helps eliminate the mental conditioning on Jack and aids him in killing Fontaine, ending the corruption in Rapture and releasing the little sisters to live normal lives as well as symbolizing the beginning of a change. In V for Vendetta, this character is Inspector Finch. Finch works for the Sutler government, but is a good person at heart – his moment comes immediately after V makes his sacrifice in the tunnel. He finds Evey preparing to send off the train with the explosives that will blow up parliament; however, he realizes that he does not hold in common with the government and allows her to continue, symbolizing the end of the Regime’s control, the reopening of thought, and the beginning of new freedom. These “turncoats” are a physical representation of the effect of the sacrifice, serving as a device to emphasize the point that the screenwriter/writer is making by utilizing a character’s self sacrifice: to show how by their deaths they completed the salvation of the societies in which they lived, and to show how this selfsame sacrifice is in fact the only way for the specific tragic characters (Ryan and V) to make their victory over the corruption of their dystopian societies complete. Had V or Ryan not died, neither Finch nor Tenenbaum would have stepped in (or stepped aside, in Finch’s case). In this way V for Vendetta and Bioshock take the next step that many dystopias do not: They not only pose the problem, but through use of the theme of self-sacrifice provide a, while not happy, possible solution to the issues of dystopia. V for Vendetta. DVD. Directed by James McTeigue. 2006; USA: Warner Home Video, 2006. Bioshock. DVD-ROM. Written by Ken Levine. 2007; USA: 2K Boston, 2007.

[Link] | Some people irritate me sooo much. They are always like "my life sucks, I hate life," when they have no idea what a crappy life is. For christ's sake, we life in the sixth best town in the country! They never have to worry about food on the table, and they're surrounded by friends every day who support them and love them. Then they get dumped by their gf/bf, or they bomb an audition, and you'd think someone had died close to them. Yes it's a disappointing feeling, but honest;ly people, it's NOT THAT BAD!
*sigh*

Der Quizy Thingy
You are like snow--unique, playful, seductive, yet
still somehow innocent and soft. It is true
that at times you can be anti-social and be
your own best friend, but you are not
impassable like ice. It is also true that you
do not trust easily but that is more of a
precaution than because of past experiences,
and if you find someone you love, you give all
your trust to them. Around your few privileged
friends, you are very fun and always the one to
come up with a brilliant plan (whether a
solution to a friend's problem or simply a
fantastic, fun way to spend the day). While you
occasionally feel as though you need to get
away from the world and seclude yourself from
people, you possess the rare ability to get
over it rather quickly and forgive; give second
chances. Much like the ocean, people either
adore you and long for you with all of their
hearts or hate you bitterly. Those who hate you
probably find you difficult (you can be
stubborn sometimes) or are just the no-nonsense
type who cannot take a joke. You can be
sensitive, but try not to let those people
affect you. Remember that those who love you
are so much more important and that you are an
amazing person at heart!

so yeah. we stayed up until 5 in the morning, everyone but me being an insomniac. so we got about five hours of sleep, then when we woke up we ate a brunchish meal then went to the beach. it was fun. after that we went to get ice cream, before finally going back to the house and packing to come back to barrington.

You are the lonely type. You have a few close friends around, but you dont speak much. The shyness overrides you. Instead you focus on school work, as theres nothin else to do. You dont have the best stuff...and the preps are unbearable. Its a war of survival for you! OR You are an average Joe person. People talk to you, polite conversations occur frequently. Your grades are ok, it keeps your parents happy. You have the ups and downs, decent frines, and ample time to kick back!What type of high school student are you?
anyway...I'm playing at graduation where it's like a million degrees, there's no breeze, and no shade...other than that, it's fine...but whatever...life goes on
