A Short Story : Guy Fawson's Story

Also, if Fawkes and company had been set-up by, why did he not say so at his execution when he could have said something? Possibly he was not in a fit enough state to say anything; also who would have believed him as he had been castigated as the evil conspirator to kill the king? It may be that the conspirators simply acted alone and then got caught.

Though her family was her main source of strength, Klein had to find someone else to rely on when she lost them. Her childhood acquaintance, a girl called Ilse, filled that void in Klein life, and Klein did the same for her. Together they pushed each other through illness, back-breaking labor, and a 350 mile death march through freezing rain and snow. Klein and Ilse became more like sisters than best friends. Ilse last gift to Klein was a single, bruised raspberry for her birthday. Klein held Ilse as she lay dying on the freezing ground. Before she drew her last breath, Ilse begged Klein to o on for one more week romise me. (p 205) Exactly one week later, the war ended and Gerda Klein found herself a free woman.

As she hastily made her way through the long-winded hallway, the realisation of her husband being away at war suddenly hit her.

In 1605, a group of young and angry Catholics decided that they had enough of King James I, and decided to take over the kingdom of England. They planned to destroy the Protestant government by murdering the most important men in the kingdom. Many people since think that the Gunpowder Plot was a conspiracy theory to make the Catholics even more unpopular in society. Others think that the traditional story that they had been taught for generations was true. In order to find out we have to consider the actions that make the Gunpowder Plot look like a conspiracy theory and the traditional story.

Elizabeth planned to have James give Catholics false hope, pretending that she gave the throne to the Catholics. Elizabeth proceeded to set the Gunpowder Plot so that James may fully deal with the Catholics, hiding a Protestant Guy Fawkes with the Catholics and starting the plot with Catesby. Considering the influence religion held in the time period, Guy Fawkes and Robert Catesby more than likely sacrificed their lives for the Anglican Protestant Church, convincing more radical Catholics to join their faux plan, while secretly planning to defame the Catholic name and to accuse their entire Catholic group of treason. When Robert Cecil captured Fawkes, Fawkes proceeds to state that there was no trick, essentially killing himself as a scapegoat for his beloved Protestant Church. Had Fawkes been a Catholic, he could have destroyed a large part of Parliament with little proof or remains of Catholic involvement as the first suicide bomber; instead, he peaceably accepted arrest and

She looked at the child, safely in her arms, breathing steadily. She looked at the man, then turned her head at the semi. The semi woman had no chance. She cared for the child, even when it ended her own life. She cradled the child in her arms, quietly praying that he didn’t what had become of his mother. She didn’t know that the child was hanging onto her arm, sobbing into her sleeve. The warm, wet tears on her shirt had brought something out of her. She broke down in the middle of the road. She cried into the bright blue coat of the little boy. He was tightly holding his Teddy bear when she had grabbed him, but when she looked down, he was no longer in possession of such an innocent creature. He dropped it when she had set him on the ground. She stood up, looked at the burning car and semi, and realized that she had saved a person, but she was mostly proud at the fact that she had saved a child, no older than eight years. The police took her, the man, and the child into custody. She walked to the ambulance with the help of an officer. The girl had been silent from the moment that she had put her earbuds in. She hadn’t spoken a single word. Not a single

Guy Fawkes, who also went by Guido, was a Spanish soldier who, along with his accomplices, spent many months planning the Gunpowder plot, a plan to blow King James I of England up with 36 barrels of Gun Powder. Their plans were ruined when Guy was caught Lurking in the cellar under the House of the Lord, where the barrels were located. In celebration of the failed plot, Londoners lit bonfires and fireworks, which became a yearly tradition, even to this day. This Gunpowder Plot was a result in Guy’s dislike to King James I. Guy fought against Protestant rebels, and even petitioned Spain’s King to help rebel King James I. Guy was a strong believer in the fact that King James I would try to drive out his Catholic subjects. He was once known as

Due to investigation by Robert Cecil, He captured, tortured, and forced signed confession from Guy Fawkes for his involvement in the plot.

Overtime, Robert Catesby name became infamous than his counterpart Guy Fawkes, overshadowing the articulate plot designed by Catesby. The truth is that Guy Fawkes nothing to do with the concoction of the Gunpowder Plot.4 Guy Fawkes’s name is synonymous with the Gunpowder Plot, however he is not the mastermind of the Plot. By Evaluating previous literature and documents, the real mastermind of the Gunpowder Plot was indeed Robert Catesby due to his motivations, strategic input, and sequential credit years after the plot unfold.

The plan failed when the conspirators were betrayed” (Guy Fawkes Day).

From 1678 to 1681 the idea of 'The Popish Plot' took over conversation and became an obsession in the country. The Plot, which this time was entirely fictional, was created to scare the country into believing that Catholics where conspiring to dethrone Charles II like they had done in 1605 with the gunpowder plot. The cartoon shows parliament under one archway in session and Guy Fawkes in the other with the gunpowder to blow up parliament. This false plot was designed to create fear amongst the protestant community, it replicates the gunpowder plot of 1605, this print and the idea of a second plot increased the division in society for Catholics, a significant impact on the treatment of Catholics after the plot as even 80 years later the puritans still printed propaganda, the cartoon also implies the shunning off know Catholics in society. This occurrence was one of many replications of the plot, causing severe repercussions for Catholics.

After hearing the news about Fawkes being captured the ringleaders were still not ready to loose so they went to Warwick Castle to gather new horses and spent two days on moving from one Catholic safe house to another.

Of the many symbolic masks, the Guy Fawkes mask stands out as one of the most effective, often being used as a “masked identity” in order to make profound statements. Not only does this secret identity create more attention to the “masked one” but it also diverts attention to the cause rather than the identity. Literally using a mask, Fawkes was the main influence of the character “V”, in James McTeigue’s, V For Vendetta. V’s connections and motivations to Guy Fawkes, his attempt to justify himself as a terrorist, and V’s concealment of his true identity, collectively define the message that V conveys to his audience: to break parliament and take control of their own country.

He had been waiting since late the night before, armed only with a slow match and a watch to know the time. Fawkes was found leaving the cellars a little while after midnight. Inside the barrels were found and Guy Fawkes was arrested. He was taken and interrogated where he would not answer any questions and gave the alias of John Johnson. Later when asked why he was in the possession of that multitude of gunpowder he told them of his plan to blow them up. He was tortured to give up the names of those who were also in the group. Soon after the torture he was put on trial and executed by hanging them (Greenspan).
