The story of Guy Fawkes
NIGHT
It is the year 1605 of our Lord, and the most gracious and glorious King James I has reached the second year of his reign.
However, not all citizens are happy. Since the king is a Protestant, the Catholic citizens feel they are ignored and chased.
But some of them are plotting in the shadows to kill the King and restore what they think is the true religion.
5th November 1605 The traitors are below the building they want to blow up.
Hey, you!Over here!
Hello ma´am or sir. My name is Guy Fawkes. I have to light the fuse.
There are some anachronic things ahead that do not belong to this year.

A major advance in Toilet technology occurred in England in the late 1500s. John Harrington (c. 1560-1612) is credited with inventing the first modern indoor flushing mechanism.

On 5 November, people remember the plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament by celebrating ‘Bonfire Night’. All over Britain there are firework displays and bonfires with models of Guy Fawkes, which are burned on the fire. The Guy is made of old clothes and the clothes are filled with newspaper. The fireworks are a reminder of the gunpowder that Guy Fawkes hid in the cellar of Parliament. Some people have a small bonfire in their garden on 5 November, while in main towns and cities there are big bonfires and firework displays.
Children used to make a guy - representing Guy Fawkes - with old rags and parade him around the town in a wheelbarrow asking for a “penny for the guy” before he ended up on a bonfire. The practice has largely died out but it tended to be children from working-class backgrounds using the event as a way of making extra pocket money. Their travels around the town were often accompanied by a song or two asking for money and sometimes with an implied threat. One such song goes: “If you don’t give me one, I’ll take two, The better for me, and the worse for you, Ricket-a-racket your hedges shall go.”
The Guy Fawkes mask is a stylised depiction of Guy Fawkes, the best-known member of the Gunpowder Plot, an attempt to blow up the House of Lords in London on 5 November 1605. The use of a mask on an effigy has long roots as part of Guy Fawkes Night celebrations. Illustrator David Lloyd stylised a smiling face with red cheeks, a wide moustache upturned at both ends, and a thin vertical pointed beard; the design came to represent broad protest after it was used as a major plot element in V for Vendetta (1982–1989) and its 2005 film adaptation.
Alan Moore (born 18 November 1953) is an English writer known primarily for his work in comic books including Watchmen, V for Vendetta, The Ballad of Halo Jones, Swamp Thing, Batman: The Killing Joke and From Hell. Regarded by some as the best comics writer in the English language, he is widely recognized among his peers and critics. He has occasionally used such pseudonyms as Curt Vile, Jill de Ray, and Translucia Baboon; also, reprints of some of his work have been credited to The Original Writer when Moore requested that his name be removed.
