i think a lot of the reason why death of the author is so misunderstood online is that people who have never studied literary criticism are stuck on the idea that theres a "right" way to read a text and dont really get that stories are multifaceted and can have layers of different meanings. stories are frequently about more than one thing at once and can be analyzed in more than one way

#tantrum hole #sorta related to the post i reblogged about the metamorphosis #kafka being jewish feels like its neglected because it doesnt fall into the 'accepted' reading of the metamorphosis #when it is in fact another layer of analysis one can apply #similar to death of the author; a mode of critique which forgoes analyzing the authors life/views in favor of examining Just the text #vs online where it means 'actually the author is bad so im going to pretend they dont exist/are hatsune miku'#which is. a take i suppose #i blame the education system for this #idk why this is getting notes. no reblogs for u.
