Rorschach’s Philosophy Rorschach has a very cynical view of life, a very nihilist approach to philosophy. I think that with having no meaning for life, you would become a very bleak person, only living for what you want, with no regard for any other life. In a modern societal standpoint this is terrible, and you would be considered an awful person, but if humanity had never developed as far as it has, then this would not be a problem. But in my opinion Rorschach’s belief in a meaningless life is no way to look at the world. If all of humanity went around living the way Rorschach believes, then the world would be filled with violent, and emotionless men, without any true connections to others. This is why Rorschach is the way he is. He can’t look at relationships the way most people do. When we see love and compassion in a healthy relationship, Rorschach sees nothing. Emptiness. If life was pointless why do we feel emotions? There’s definitely something wrong with Rorschach’s philosophy and psychology. I think Kovacs is living in his id. He acts as if he is an animal, and all other beings are animals. Without an ego, his mind entered the chaos and darkness of the id, and then he became Rorschach. He literally is living within the animal instincts of the mind. So in a sense, Rorschach is less developed than most, and therefore cannot properly fit in to society and have an enjoyable or meaningful life. Rorschach is delusional.
