The Watchmen show demonstrates freedom of practicing any thinking in the US society.

Some

characters believes that human has no control over destiny while some argue that they can

control their destiny, but each character accepts the opinion of other. Another argument in the

story is focused on how a man sees his destiny, which also illustrates the persuasive approach of

logos. Destiny is one of the key factors of life that dictates what happens next. Is it nice and bad?

Will it be bad? Similarly, people's views differ from person to person for such element (Marshall

4). Some on one hand believe that all occurs by Christ's will alone and that nothing could be

done to change it. There are some on the other side who think that destiny is like a working

engine, and by his ability one may modify it.

When developing Dr. Manhattan's nature, the authors used the ethos method. They say

Manhattan is an eternal vigilance that obtained eternity in a 1959 radioactive catastrophe.

Rorschach was shown as a highly violent superhero, so obsessive on protecting the world at any

costs. That allows the viewers to get emotional, since the author employed the pathological

approach to construct the personality of Rorschach. It shows that American culture compels

humanity to protect the people from evil and remove the criminality from the world. It also

breaks the male oriented superheroes Laurie Juspeczyk's depiction that she feels she is an innate

guard and has an obligation to stop atrocities and bring the perpetrators before the courts

represents the rhetorical logos technique, since the author argues that she has logically acquired

this skill from her family (Isekeije 3). In sum, throughout the writing of this work, the authors

tried all the tactics to create it a huge collection of feeling, sentiments, silence and aggression.

Watchmen create a completely different women personality and let them participate with the

society just like any fully conceived male character would. There is something refreshing, and

perhaps just as feminist. For instance, Lady Trieu does not have to be a woman in order to keep
the furnace of ethical nobility that is captivating for her; she happens to be a woman as

unscrupulously merciless as Adrian Veidt, the ex-centric mastermind of the play stated, whose

firm she owns. Although it is a great part through her own personality in her very own traumatic

experiences, it is not always — and must not be — man by choice, since she may so quickly turn

through Veidt's paradigm.

Angela's sarcastic and stern, tough and compassionate, as all of us knew she was and saw her as

guardian of her spouse (She pushed him off the explosion during the White Night raid on her

house before discharging a few of the Seventh Kalvary firearms). As a consequence, Dr.

Manhattan's admission of Cal as one of the most important examples in the universe, actually

makes him appear more equitable (Van Ness 7). If something, the late stage indicates that the

great objective of Kalvary is to capture Dr Manhattan and to effectively "damage" him by

syphoning his capabilities to his commander. He tells them it's when he really understands he

adores her at this time, when they slip on a military jacket and grab two weapons from the

concealing area behind a part of their wall and become an army of one lady in a quest rescue

him.

The following discussion in this show relates to a women's personality defects and shortcomings.

They say no one in this earth is faultless, indicating that pathos is used as a rhetoric approach.

Everyone has a certain number of defects, whether it be in character or in conduct. It is a clear

fact that at a certain time in life a woman displays his negative side. So here we are talking of the

fact that the darker side doesn't indicate negative automatically (Marshall 5). Also, the list of

shortcomings includes even the least faults such as fury, possessively or rage. Lastly, time is

regarded as the meaningful argument in which the participants argue that the topic must be

examined from any perspective but never negatively. Most individuals now lives and care
exclusively about it. What occurred in the previous or what will happen tomorrow doesn't matter

to them?

Hence it is concluded that superheroes in the movies and tv shows are highlighting the positive

image of the American society. They are also raising social issues and compelling people to

change their mind set. In the show Watchmen, it is depicted that women have strength to deal

with evil forces of the world.
