V for Vendetta and McCloud

Is V's mask in V for Vendetta really how he see's himself?

McCloud suggests, "We see ourselves in everything. We assign identities and emotions where none exist. And we make the world over in our image" (McCloud,33).
The images given in McCloud on this page are the front of a car, the top of a Kraft parmesan cheese, and a simple circle, two dots, and a line as a smilie face.
These images all represent how we as human see ourselves in everything.

V chose the Mask he wears as a symbol of who he see's himself as.
The mask itself represents a man from the past who blew up Parliment, who wore the same mask when he did. The man was an anarchist.
V uses the mask to represent not the man who blew up Parliment but uses the mask as a symbol of change.

Does V see himself in the mask as an anarchist then?

According to McCloud, the answer would be Yes.
McCloud says, "You know you smiled because you trusted this mask called your face to respond. But the face you see in your mind is not the same as others see!"
I would say Yes as well. You see in V for Vendetta, what he sees himself as.
V speaks with "Lady Justice", a statue and how he sees her and what represents.
He says, "The flames of freedom. How Lovely. How Just. Ahh, my Precious Anarchy." He says this after blowing up "Lady Justice", while he is wearing the Mask. He then says, "O beauty, 'til now I never knew thee".
This is where V acknowledges anarchy and his connection to it. While he wears the mask he is "V", and being "V" he therefore is an anarchist.
