Rorschach's Journal - October 21st, 1985 (2)

His second entry is also in Chapter V. Since his last entry he has been asleep. He takes off his mask and looks at a group of knot-tops putting graffiti on a door. He talks with his landlady and sees Dan Dreiberg and Laurie Juspeczyk coming out of Gunga Diner, although they cannot identify him because he isn't wearing his mask. He enters Gunga Diner and puts syrup in a napkin, folding the napkin and taking it a part to make symmetrical splotches, while he stares at his maildrop (the trashcan).

He wakes at eleven because of shouting outside, and says he was disturbed to find he slept with his 'face' on, and that he should be more careful. He then memorized the boys that were defacing the abandoned building's descriptions. He takes off his face and said 'without my face, nobody knows. Nobody knows who I am.' He says the landlady complained about the hygiene and rent, and noted she had purple bite marks on her 'fat white neck.' He then says she reminds him of his mother. He noted that the graffiti on the building was a silhouette, 'man and woman, possibly indulging in sexual foreplay,' and that he didn't like it, claiming it makes the doorway look haunted. He sees Dreiberg and Juspeczyk and wonders if there is an affair, then suspects Laurie of engineering Dr. Manhattan's exile to make room for Dreiberg, noting she also hated the Comedian. He commented on the trash people 'deposited for him'; candy wrappers, newspapers, a pair of keds.

"This city is an animal, fierce and complicated. To understand it I read its droppings, its scents, the movement of its parasites...I sat watching the trashcan, and New York opened its heart to me."

From his description of New York, no one would have the desire to live in this abattoir which is full of retarded children. He may be right after all. I don't know if Alan Moore carries the same vision.

I don't know what to say, except that I am so happy you have blessed Youtube with these videos.

rorschach is deep o_o

[northernvoxmedia]

@nawarnori I doubt it. I think Rorschach was Alan Moore's way of laughing at the right wing.

this is brilliant

[SolidThugKnuckles]

Yeah he's supposed to talk in that dialect. Short sentences, monotone voice, etc.

[DigitalCorpse0]

Does he normally talk like this?
