Novel Synthesis

In this blog it will be linking the novel Watchmen with the poem Ozymandias, which is about a great Pharaoh who, despite all his power, is now nothing more then a memory and has no real significance to the present day. Like Ozymandias, Adrian Veidt or by his super hero name Ozymandias has great plans and goals of making a name for himself, to be above all humans to be the ¨King of kings¨, but he knows having a huge business won't solidify his dreams of being ¨God¨ so he diverges on a plan to proove himself to history that he belongs in the books as the man who brought peace and unity to the entire world. He knows that the only way to go down in history is to effect the entire world, so with his plan he gets the smartest people, mainly Dr. Manhattan, to build nuclear devices to be ¨used against the Soviets¨ but really they are just his queen in his big game of chess waiting for the right time to strike using the rest of his super hero friends as the pawns.
