How complete are the levels of control in worlds of ‘Nineteen Eighty Four’ and ‘V for Vendetta.’ 1984 has a more complete level of control when compared with V for Vendetta.

One key belief that Catholics have about the question‚ ‘why is there pain and suffering in the world’ is that God created man with free will.
