《守望者》 / Watchmen

《守望者》 / Watchmen appears in 01.麦田守望者：20世纪的美国贾宝玉 through the hosts’ comparison between [[Rorschach|罗夏]] and [[HoldenCaulfield|Holden Caulfield / 霍尔顿]]. The source uses the comparison to test what happens when Holden-like disgust toward social dirt becomes more rigid, violent, and absolutist.

The episode’s point is not that Watchmen directly retells [[TheCatcherInTheRye|《麦田里的守望者》]], but that Rorschach helps define the boundary around Holden. Holden is angry and purity-seeking, but he is also evasive, frightened, tender, and mostly nonviolent; Rorschach shows what the same refusal of compromise can look like when pushed into a hard vigilante ethic.
