Re: Controversial opinions
Yes, I meant text-compatible interpretations. Otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned their validity.
By "using authorial intent" I did not mean agreeing with the author, nor basing the analysis on their opinion re:their text. This opinion is only a part of authorial intent, often minor. When somebody writes Mary Sues it is, in fact, a perfect case for this approach precisely because it is so obvious what the author wanted, what the author felt, and how the contradiction between the former and the latter led to a spectacular fail the size of Alaska.
As to collaborative works, it really does depend on the particular case. Also, I do not claim that this kind of analysis is universal or that it always yields desirable results.
Same can be said of the last point. It is always a speculation, true, but depending on circumstances, a good logical analysis of the text and the context may significantly narrow down the number of solutions. Discussion of narrative development is not "making shit up".
