Ozymandias's Death

Ozymandias his real name Adrian Alexander Veidt, he does not have a superhero power but he is an intelligent person. He is known as “the smartest man in the world” and came from a wealthy family. The novel concentrated on heroes who revealed Ozymandias’s intention to unite the world through taking away the lives of millions of innocent souls then blaming a non-existent invasion by an alien. Ozymandias says “the only person with whom I felt any kinship with died three hundred years before the birth of Christ. Alexander of Macedonia” (Moore 8). It is really odd that someone does not feel any connection with human being come up with this plan and want to save their life. Ozymandias’s plan gets discovered but it was rather late, and he managed …show more content…
So, Ozymandias’s engaged in mass slaughter of millions does not augur at all with the common good. Other than the different sentiments directed by the characters other than Ozymandias in the novel, killing does not generate any form of justification. The death of a human being does not bring any good to the human beings that remain even if they did not cause it. Human beings ought to die their natural deaths. In my opinion, millions of individuals do not deserve death to please the billions of other humans that remain alive. Ozymandias’s actions do not represent any moral or ethical reasoning because he leads to ending of many people’s lives. Dr. Manhattan appeared a hero because of his moral grounds and the final move he made towards asking Rorschach not to telling the truth about Ozymandias’s actions. Moreover, Dr. Manhattan allowed the millions of individuals killed under his watch. Ozymandias says to Dr. Manhattan “I am not a comic book villain.

It also passed across powerful imagery, recurring symbols, and a figure that led to the rise of a new issue. The central theme in the story entails morality and its relation to human life. It did not reveal any act of morality performed by the characters starting from Ozymandias up to Manhattan. Violence appears almost throughout the story, and shades of darkness occur in several instances, like the result of Ozymandias plan that millions lost their lives all in the name of saving others. And human beings must to live in harmony and not grow in violence. Ozymandias did not engage in a worthy act in the first place because he needed to save the lives of everyone if he could. The novel describes heroes as individuals that ought to save the lives of others are the ones that took the front line in senseless killing. A society where leaders and top individuals with the most significant responsibility are the ones that lead to murder makes it difficult for peace to grow and expand. It is not right in my opinion, and no justification might argue in favor of the killing people. The novel described that some had to die for others to live, but the number that had to kill was quite significant. All human beings are not only equal but very important and not replaceable in the society. It may be a little better if the number of casualties is lower than this. The novel describes
