Out of all the characters in the book, I think I feel the most sorry for Rorschach's psychiatrist. He has a helpless patient who's getting to his head, his wife is mad at him for working hard and helping others in a desperate time of need, and (spoiler) he ends up dying. Seriously, give this guy a break!

Screaming Dawn I think his wife is a bit of a b***h. I felt really bad for him at the dinner party... Yea, she is. I can't believe that she was about to leave him when he stopped to help stop the two lesbians from fighting. That's seriously mean! Also, that dinner party was pretty sad. His friends were ready to laugh at Rorschach, but he told them the truth about Rorschach and it was awkward. May he rest in peace.

Yeah, I feel sorry for the guy. The man's an idealist in a hopeless situation.

SilviteRamirez Yeah, I feel sorry for the guy. The man's an idealist in a hopeless situation. Very true, but I think that if there were one or two more people like him, the situation wouldn't be so hopeless. It might actually be solveable (for the most part).

Hm... I don't know, there's a fairly fatalistic tone to the whole graphic novel, I doubt a few more idealists would have made the outlook any brighter. If anything, you could argue that Adrian's an idealist, and his solution is mass murder.

I like the character mainly because he represents innocence and him dying is so symbolic since it means innocence is gone and never stood a chance.

Andypaul Out of all the characters in the book, I think I feel the most sorry for Rorschach's psychiatrist. Not Rorschach himself? Anyways I think the dinner party thing was sad too. And his wife pissed me off. When Rorschach told him that he doesn't like him because he's fat, wealthy, and he thinks he understands pain, I was reminded of an irrational emo kid.

The Psychiatrist represents how we want to view the world. That any person can be categorised into one of many mental conditions by a set of simple tests. The Rorschach Test can only work if the one being tested 'plays' along. There is no way for the Doc to know for certain, other than what Kovacs says to him, to consider Kovacs 'rehabilitated'. And for what? Kovacs? No. Himself. Propelled into celebrity by the diagnosis and treatment of a 'disturbed' person.
The doctor represents how lazy, and judgemental we all are. So, we are quite happy to have Rorschach on the streets cleaning up the scum (many of which he knows will be waiting or in prison), to being just as happy condemning him for the violence that had once been used for crimefighting.
Rorschach had served his purpose, and after '77 was now one of the criminals. Yet Rorschach had remaned the same. His 'purpose' for becoming a hooded avenger never explored. Back to the doctor.
To treat such a patient as a boasting point around a social setting such as dinner, trivialises the patient into entertainment. We all are quite happy chatting about tricky topics around the table, but it soon becomes aware of the depth of trouble his 'celebrity' has, and how flippantly he can be discussed jokingly. Like laughing at Brittney's hi-jinx recently.
So, the doctor realises his whole life, on which he bases his whole 'worth', has been destroyed. That, you can't force therapy on anybody if they don't want it. Rorschach played, then showed him the rules.
It exposes the lack of control society has on its public, that much of it is held together by the thinnest of threads. That the young Kovacs clearly demonstrated that his childhood had enough crisis early on, to be not surprised he wound up as Rorschach. And the doctor was nowhere near even finding that out oing it 'his way'.

La-la-dida-la-la Andypaul Out of all the characters in the book, I think I feel the most sorry for Rorschach's psychiatrist. Not Rorschach himself? Anyways I think the dinner party thing was sad too. And his wife pissed me off. When Rorschach told him that he doesn't like him because he's fat, wealthy, and he thinks he understands pain, I was reminded of an irrational emo kid. *SPOILER* I felt most sorry for him later on in the book when his wife threatened to leave him when he tried to stop the two girls from fighting.

How we aspire to be heroes ourselves?

How we aspire to be heroes ourselves? I don't aspire to be a hero, I agree with Moore. Let me think about that and I'll get back to you. I must admit, I hadn't figured the women into is as such. Thanks for that.
