Rorschach's journal October 12th, 1985

This entry opens Chapter I: At Midnight, All the Agents..., giving introduction with Rorschach's perception of New York. Visually is seen the Comedian's badge along with his blood being washed from the sidewalk below his apartment, and a man walks buy with a sign that reads "The End is Nigh."

Rorschach claims he has seen New York's true face and refers to its people as vermin who follow lechers and communists. He says all the liberals and intellectuals and smooth-talkers will see the end and all of a sudden not have anything to say.

"The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"...and I'll look down, and whisper "No.""

That was precisely the idea of Rorschach though. What if someone like Batman or the Question existed in real life? He'd have to be a fucking lunatic. How would others view his vigilantism? To what ends does one go to pursue his purviews of justice? He believes himself to be the only real hero, but that's because the work has worn him down and the lines have blurred. No civilian feels safe because of him, they're afraid of him. Thusly I find it difficult to classify him as a hero.

This entry is Rorchach's harshest in my opinion. I like his other ones more.

@INtheORCHID Didn't get it, pal. What do you mean? Rorschach moral sense is wrong? Although he was compromised with the truth, he was the only character (besides Nite Owl) with an unshakable moral sense. The truth is the truth, and justice is justice, whatever the means you need achieve it. It's a bulshit to say people deserve more than the truth. The truth is terrifying, but necessary.

Rorschach represents the extreme of good and bad and no grayness in between.

Veidt represents evil for the greater good. He believes in justification for 3million peoples death for the human race to live.

What you decide is correct is your decision.

@INtheORCHID and people still underestimate the literary importance of comics.

Heroism is not subjective.

@Deathbringer99699 i'd guess thats the actual day alan moore wrote that bit. watchmen was published in 86' so it stands to reason that it was being written in 85'

@INtheORCHID well if my expectations of what a hero is are met then thusly Rorschach is a hero to me. It depends on what you personally define as a hero, so your own expectations apply.

@Bl4nkB0x

I don't feel that projecting your own expectations on the character makes him any more of a hero.
