AB In this dissertation, I will be explaining and analyzing the changes that the historical figureof Guy Fawkes underwent from being one of the most hated figures in England, with an annual celebration to commemorate his death, to a fictional character representing the fightagainst totalitarianism in the late 20th century. And finally, how, in the early years of the 21stcentury he became the face of the international hacktivist group known as Anonymous. Furthermore, I will be analyzing the historical context in which the character of Guy Fawkeswas conceived as well as explaining why he was the main figure who was accounted responsible for the Gunpowder Plot despite the fact that he was not its leader. Moreover, Iwill analyze why the group Anonymous chose the “Fawkesque” mask from the characterfrom the graphic novel as well as the movie V for Vendetta which was at the same time inspired in the historical character, to become the face of the 21st century hacktivistmovement.
