With experience comes information and awareness. Each person interprets experiences differently, which in turn makes it difficult to determine the morality of something. In Alan Moore's novel Watchmen, Moore uses the combination of images and words to present the different personalities of the various characters and what they think is best for society. Throughout the story, Alan Moore explains that ignorance is humility and humility is wisdom, which is the only way to achieve true knowledge. The most interesting character in Watchmen is Walter Kovacs, also known as Rorschach. He grew up with an extremely abusive mother and without his father, about whom he knew very little. Kovacs was also bullied as a child, thus ruining his trust in other people. In this case, it wasn't Kovacs who willfully ignored optimism, he was forced to live and grow up in (what seemed like) Hell on earth. All that experience transformed him into something different that no one had ever seen, something fierce and emotionless. As he said: “I saw the dark underbelly of the world and I never gave up. Once a man has seen, he can never turn his back on him." The moment he really turned Rorschach was when he found out what happened to Kitty Genovese. She was raped, tortured and killed while nearly 40 neighbors did nothing to help her. Instead of trying to get his life to the point where he had a 9 to 5 job and a family to take care of, he focused on what he thought was right; punish criminals for the horrible things they've done, no questions asked. For example, after finding the hideout of a man who had kidnapped a child, Kovacs realized that the bone the two German shepherds were fighting over was a human bone; the little girl was fed to the dog... in the middle of a sheet of paper... before you left... I did the right thing, didn't I?" Surely, what he believes comes from his ignorance that turned into this “extraterrestrial threat” project. Watchmen introduced and described all the special personalities of each character and subjected them to life-or-death situations Rorschach responded with the new persona he developed through difficult times, ignoring the fact that there are actually good people out there. Dreiberg has responded with his love of costumed heroes since he was a child by dressing up as Nite Owl, ignoring the fact that what he does for the community has not. value. Adrian Veidt was the one who started all these problems, believing he could only do so because he was so successful. It is important to point out that each of these characters gained the knowledge that his ignorance is humility and his humility is wisdom.
