"Waiting for a flash of enlightenment in all this blood and thunder" (Chapt. 5, Page 6, Panel 7)
This quote is taken from Rorschach's journal shown at the end of a scene replete with a flashing light. This light has a symmetrical design resembling a skull and cross bone symbol. The next scene presents a poster of Buddha in a triangle, which is a reoccurring shape throughout the book. Buddha portrays the journey to personal awareness and the triangle symbolises the rising journey needed to reach this pinnacle of enlightenment. The owner of the Buddha poster has just killed himself and his children. This foreshadows that he was completely aware of the truth, being that a third world war is very likely. The suicide's denotation foreshadowed Veidt's extermination and humanities faults.
take a look at that last line and your use of the term 'denotation' -- examine that word use
