Asiri dindar bir Hristiyan olan guy ki asil adi guido donemin krali 1. James önderliğinde yapilan degisiklikleri, kanunlari, yasalari dogru bulmayan komitacilarla bir olup parlamento binasini patlatmak istemistir.
Bu hikayenin ozu katolik-protestan cekismesidir. Ne komitacilarin ulkeye demokrasi getirmeyi amaçlamalari, ne de parlamentonun anti demoktatik kanunlaridir.
Remember, remember! The fifth of November, The Gunpowder treason and plot; I know of no reason Why the Gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot! Guy Fawkes and his companions Did the scheme contrive, To blow the King and Parliament All up alive. Threescore barrels, laid below, To prove old England's overthrow. But, by God's providence, him they catch, With a dark lantern, lighting a match! A stick and a stake For King James's sake! If you won't give me one, I'll take two, The better for me, And the worse for you. A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope, A penn'orth of cheese to choke him, A pint of beer to wash it down, And a jolly good fire to burn him. Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring! Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King! Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray
