Inside Rorschach: Watchmen

Rorschach seems to be a very interesting yet complicated character. Sometimes he seems to be bad and sometimes he seems to be good. He is on the line between villain and hero, he is a vigilante.

He seems to be doing good and looking out for a friend (the comedian) but some of the things he does to try to find the comedians killer are simply not good. He breaks peoples fingers and accuse innocent men. But in the end I think he is just trying to do good and find out who killed his friend. He is also breaking the law by being a vigilante because of the outlaw of super hero's. But in the end I think he does kind of think about the greater good because he does all of this to find who killed the comedian.

Rorschach is also very complicated in his mind set and his costume. His mask is an ink blob which kind of means to see what you see which is a little bit confusing. Also what he see's in the ink blobs. For example the dog split in half which is supposed to be a butterfly seems kind of weird to see. He also seems to see the darker side of everything. He keeps talking about how bad this city is and how it needs to be fixed.

Finally I would like to talk about Rorschach's morals. He doesn't seem to have many. He just seems to be trying to find out what he wants to by any means necessary. So in that respect he seems very confusing but in the end he seems to be looking out for the greater good.
