Analysis of Morality in Watchmen
Document Content and Description Below
Analysis of Morality in Watchmen Alan Moore's groundbreaking graphic novel Watchmen, published in 1986, reinvented the superhero genre and pushed the limits of what constitutes great writing. The cl ... assical heroic ethos of the betterment, the sacrificing of the few for the many, is at the heart of its plot. Watchmen is a comic book series set in an alternate 1980s that follows a group of heroes as they uncover their comrade Ozymandias' plan to unite the globe by sacrificing thousands of innocent lives and blaming it on a fake extraterrestrial invasion. When they unearth his scheme, however, it already has been carried out, and that he is able to persuade all but Rorschach not to divulge the truth to that same world. Several perspectives on the morality underlying murder, the final verdict of death, as well as its significance in the larger scheme of things are presented throughout Watchmen's tale. [Show More]
