Two Riders

In case you were wondering, SK sent me a message last night to cover a couple of chapters for her while she’s out of town.

For chapter 10 though, I only have two things to say:

1) I love Bob Dylan songs, and;

2) Notice the many, many pairs (and #2s) throughout the chapter, from the first shot (Defcon 2) to the pairing of President and Vice-President, straight through to the two “riders” of Nite Owl and Roschach approaching Veidt’s Karnak. If anyone ever wondered why Veidt chose such an insecure password, I think it was just so Moore and Gibbons could throw in the “rider” “II” joke (Two Riders Were Approaching 20.7). That’s just my opinion.

In any case, the idea of dichotomies–two opposing (or contrasted) forces–runs throughout Watchmen. As the world of Watchmen nears apocalypse, should we begin to wonder whether this mindset of dichotomies is the best to approach the world? Should we really occupy our time thinking of “us versus them” scenarios when for the most part, all everybody wants is to get along in life? By creating polar dichotomies, we create a pair of exceptional states, one of our selves and one of our opponent’s. Often times however, because we create polar opposites, we also have as many things in common as not, just like in a positive and a negative of a photograph. Although dichotomies, and the larger function that is categorisation, have their uses in logic and rhetoric, they are tools that can just as easily destroy bonds and people. Care should always be taken when operating a dangerous power tool.
