First of all, fucking fantastic image.

Second, I agree, 100%. and really, even with literary fiction, yes, there's more ambiguity, but trying to understand and interpret that ambiguity and how we're meant to take that ambiguity is a significant element of reading those writers. That doesn't mean that I'm always going to be correct in interpreting it, but there's at least something we can talk about there.

Seconded.

I think you can usually tell the difference. One thing to look at is which character is espousing these views. Is it the villain or antagonist? Then they probably disapprove. If it's the hero or protagonist, unless it's a story of how they learn to be a better person, they probably approve, if only secretly.

I dunno. Does the character espouse shitty attitude but get dismembered in the end? Does the opposite happen? Do they end up in exile from their home and families? That helps with figuring it all out. But I guess I've crossed genres, there.

WHY DOES EVERYONE IN THIS THREAD READ SUCH SHITTY SIMPLISTIC BOOKS JESUS CHRIST

in my favorite books you can *absolutely* tell what the author's moral views are, but not because "the hero" says so or "the villain" says the opposite. all characters have their own perspectives and flaws, and the themes from the whole of the story

lmfao mte

I genuinely think a lot of people in fandom never read anything more complex than Harry Potter.

WHY DOES EVERYONE IN THIS THREAD READ SUCH SHITTY SIMPLISTIC BOOKS JESUS CHRIST

all of two people

Sometimes the author is trying to write about a complicated situation, and putting different arguments in the mouths of different characters so the reader can learn about all of them and, possibly, make their own value judgements from there.

Not all fiction is: "You should think this/agree with me or you're a Bad Person."

[(Anonymous)]

But this is itself also something that you evaluate and critically interpret. Like. This doesn't really disagree with anything that OP's saying?

[(Anonymous)]

True. I suppose I was just putting out another example of why authorial approval might be unclear.
