's creepy, when you read it for its own sake, rather than for school. But then again, this applies to other things. Heck, I've been reading this book "Maps of Heaven, Maps of Hell", which has given me a renewed appreciation of Robert Frost. With the proper outlook, even "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" is actually quite eerie, rather than the little simple ditty we remember.
Oh, the book's also quite interesting. It alleges that the American horror tradition (as practiced and exemplified by Stephen King, Robert Frost, H.P. Lovecraft, and others) originated from Johnathan Edwards, and his "Sinners in the Hand of an Angry God" speech. The one with the "noxious insect" bit. Shades of APUS, anyone?

And the guy's "costume" is a simple trenchcoat and hat. Not all that outrageous.
"Rorschach is an extreme example of moral absolutism, who believes in an unalterable moral code that requires the strict and severe punishment of any infraction. His opposition to the evil of crime is contrasted with his total lack of empathy for criminals, whom he treats as non-human, and his disdain for conventional morality, law, government, and the police, being willing to torture or execute criminals in the pursuit of his aims. Rorschach is thus himself strangely inhuman and not entirely "good". His view of the world is in "black and white". There are no shades of gray - thus reflecting the properties of the mask that he wears."
What a lameass.
In another entry.
Whoa. Had no idea that context existed. Thanks!
Probably they're both right.
