How are people in power represented in Book?
In books like 1984 and V For Vendetta people in power/ government officials are portrayed as nosy and controlling groups or individuals. One of the examples is a book called Fahrenheit 451. In this book the government has banned books and have "Fire Men" whose only task is to burn books. this book was made at a time where book banning was sadly an event that took place pretty often.
Another example of power being represented in books is in the novel I Am J. In the book a transvestite lesbian girl is constantly aided by the officials around her, including shelter employees. This book shows that sometimes in books people of power are portrayed as being helpful and kind.
Both of these represent people of power in different ways. These books show that people in power are not always "evil".
