Essay Topics

While reading Watchmen, I came across a few ideas for essay topics that I thought would be interesting to research more. Some topics I wanted to look further into would be the Comedian, and his relationship with Laurie and Laurie's mom. I think it's important to realize how 'rape culture' has changed over the years, and our response to hearing Laurie's mom perspective. We explain her behavior as a product of her time, which would be interesting to research more on. Another topic I was interested in was Rorschach's past, and how it formed him as an adult. His background was an important context for us to realize why people are the way they are. I also am really interested by Jon, and his relationship with Laurie and Janie. How his dissconect to them both pushes him farther away from humanity.
