This work introduces us to the radical couple in the history of the revolution. William Godwin, the first anarchist thinker and Marry Wollstonecraft, the first feminist visionary, in the age that witnessed the revolution. Although the transformation of the union of the two revolutionaries into love is inspiring, even though this partnership of the two companions was short at the verybeginning of the revolution history. (Marry died after the birth of their child who would become a famous writer (Marry Shelley) due to complications during childbirth.) The inspiration was so great that it leftWestminster Palace in flames. The fact that the British Parliament building is in flames is not the couple's goal, but represents their life's purpose. So The theme was framed in this context as well.“GunpowderPlot” activist, anarchism martyr mercenary Guy Fawkes, one of the largest known treason in British history, is still one of the symbols of anarchism today, with the long upturned moustache represented. In this picture, it can be seen that his image emerged from the smoke of the parliament building, which he could not put out the fire. On the shore, the figure symbolizing “Gerrad Winstanley”, the leader of the British civil war rebels, the first anarchist revolutionary group called “Diggers”(Because they were agricultural workers.) is watching this glorious fire with his hoe in his hand.
