Watchmen:Rorschach-The Mad Detective?

Main character that driving the main story of Watchmen is Rorschach, the hard-man style superhero. He is the only one in Watchmen team that question about the death of Comedian (one of the Watchmen). He try to inspect for the real cause of Comedian's death and persuade other Watchmen member to beware about the suspicious danger coming to the team.
As his quote "This City is Afraid of Me. I've seen its True Face.", Rorschach always present himself as a terror for everybody who have something bad in mind.He always try to show the True Face (mind) of everybody, but hide his own under the strange changeable-pattern Mask! I think the pattern on his mask is always showing his feeling/mind. The scene that Rorschach talking with psychiatrist is showing that he has some bad background making him to be a hard man with complicated mind and thought.
I think Rorschach is the character that represent many people who try to know (and sometimes they think they've already known) the others mind but hide their own. This type of people try to know the true mind of the others, but sometimes (or all the time) confuse with their own mind and try to hide it because some weakness in their mind/background. I believe that you may face up with this type of people many time in your entire life or you may be that Type! Are you Rorschach?
