Predestination and memory. Things that are already set create narrative. Can King Lear be King Lear without Cordelia dying? Lear? Can Watchmen survive without Laurie realising who her father is? Without Veidt getting away with his chilling plan for world unity? Storytelling always has two sides to it: The story being told is always fated to be “itself,” and never-changing; and the audience interprets it anew every time.
For Dr. Manhattan, time itself is a narrative where he is both a character in it and an audience member. He has concentrated only on seeing the overall narrative, and like with many summaries in TV Guide, the synopsis just doesn’t sound very interesting. For him, watching one SitCom is like watching all others. Blandly predictable. Yet because he is as much part of the audience as he is the narrative, he can be far more active if he wishes. He himself says that “The details are vague” (The Darkness of Mere Being 17.2). Though there is a fluid substance in the form of narrative, it is the reader, the audience, that allows for konkretisation (Iser, The reading process: a phenomenological approach)–the realisation of meaning. As Jon asks Laurie, “What do you want to be in the bottle?” (The Darkness of Mere Being 10.2), a narrative can be contained, even defined as a certain substance (a fluid), but it is up to the interpreter to actualise specifics into being.
If any reason can be given for Laurie realising that the Comedian was her father, it can be that she has taken the narrative in her life (a narrative framed by the larger narrative of Watchmen) and has made an interpretation that makes so much sense that she cannot deny it. This is the way we not only understand stories, but how we understand our lives: “We’re all blind, stupid things, stumbling through our lives . . . hopelessly lost in the fog.” (The Darkness of Mere Being 19.4) Instead of making our lives meaningless, this unknowing, this impossible narrative that we call life allows us to create our selves, finding our own meaning and purpose where, in the bigger picture, we may seem insignificant.
