The Tales of the Black Freighter are what most confuses first-time Watchmen readers. In almost half of its chapters, the action cuts to these scenes at the newsstand, where a young Bernie is reading a fictional pirate comic telling the tale of captain stranded by the Black Freighter, who now needs to return to his hometown and save his family. At first many find those scenes either boring or meaningless fillers. Hardly do they know that the comic within a comic stands for metalanguage, worldbuilding, intertextuality, thematic deepening and symbolism and is inspired by the famous "Seeräuber Jenny" ("Pirate Jenny") from Bertolt Brecht's Threepenny Opera, solidifying the layers of Watchmen's world and it even parallels the arcs of some of the graphic novel characters, such as Dr. Manhattan (Jon Osterman), Rorschach (Walter Kovacs) and, above all, Ozymandias (Adrian Veidt).
