Buddha

" We need to know everything Mrs. Hirsch..." (panel 1, page 7, chapter 5).

This entire chapter has been focused on symmetry, including the picture of Buddha in this panel. The poster of Buddha has been splashed with human blood, which refers to many things. Not only does it show the violence of what is presently happening in the comic, but it hints to the state of religion in the past. Religion has fueled most of histories wars, and it is only now that some people say that wars are not based on religion (however, this is also up for debate). Moore and gibbons are showing us that history repeats itself, and that nothing is truly pure.
