Psychoanalysis, Philosophy, and Politics

Watchmen is a work considered to be one of the most important of the late twentieth century, both for the originality of using the Sequential Art to discuss the major political, cultural and social issues of this time, as the boldness of their authors, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, in developing realistic, brutal and deeply human characters. There are many possible approaches of this work, but this article develops some refl ections on the mysterium iniquitatis and perversion of the law represented by Ozymandias based on elaborations of Zizek and Lacan, followed by a discussion about the ethical issue in this Rorschach character .
