How is Evey like a child?

Evey is very much like a child still because of the way she acts and how she reacts to certain events that take place.

For example, there is a scene in the book on page 26 where V asks Evey about her life. She begins to tell him her life story and her story has had its rough times... She had no brothers and sisters because her dad said that they couldn't afford any more children. So Evey has spent her life as an only child and she never really had anyone she could talk to.

Her mother had died in 1991, just when Evey was still little. She was then on her own with her father but that didn't last too long. Eventually her father and her were separated and she had to live in a hostel, where it was dirty and she just wanted to cry.

From then on Evey was completely alone. She had been abandoned and she never really learned how to grow up or do things on her own.
