Next to the plot of the Watchmen, there are the characters. each character has a big impact on the story and part of their character symbolizes something we recognize today. Each character had their own symbolism.
The Comedian was a parody of Humanity. He thought human nature was a sick joke only he understood. Nite Owl II represented idealism. Manhattan represented the detachment, since he was losing touch with humanity after getting his god like powers. The only one of his kind. Rorschach was moral absolutism. Ozymandias was complexity. He used dark methods for the greater good. And Silk Spectre represents change.
