Re: Unpopular Opinions Thread

I think Death of the Author gives most authors more credit than they deserve.

First you've got the world, which is so complex that no one person can fully understand it. Then you've got the author's interpretation of the world (or a fantastical setting inspired by the world), which is based in their knowledge and experiences. Since they're just one person, each author's world is smaller than the real world, and doesn't address some factors another author might discuss.

If you're Dickens, you can write what you've seen even if you don't fully understand it. Death of the Author can bring out new ideas and address concepts that might not have even existed in your time, like how the abused girlfriend in Oliver Twist fits a modern conception of Battered Spouse Syndrome. But if you're Hawthorne, you just write your limited conception of what is and must be true, ignoring any possible point of contradiction. An analysis based on another viewpoint is difficult or even impossible, because the world elements that would allow for the existence of that viewpoint don't exist in the text.

To put it more starkly, you cannot take the racism out of Lovecraft. It just can't be done.

I just looked up Death of the Author on TV Tropes. I find it interesting there that it identifies JRR Tolkien as essentially supporting Death of the Author with his comments from the LotR preface about not intending to be allegorical, but believing in applicability instead.
