Death of the author
#Death of the author plus
Being taught that you are the sole arbiter of truth due to your magical sword plus the experiences he's been through as well as an utterly mind-controlled populace WILL fuck you up. I go further and say, though, that this is due to all the power and torture driving him to radicalize. If the subject is dissolved into language, then. I mean, this is basically accepted by a huge chunk of the fandom. The Death of the Author is an extension of the end of the unified subject, and as such, Barthes was expressing the prevailing intellectual stance that was being written and would be expressed among that group of thinker who were attending the seminars of Jacques Lacan (1901-1981) in Paris. Richard Rahl really is just a psychopathic fascist and scumbag.

A lot of Bella's attraction is also purely due to the fact she desires to be young and pretty forever. Also, he's a controlling psychotic evil vampire like the majority of his kind (props to his veganism, though). Similarly, on shipping levels, I'm entirely comfortable with the Twilight interpretation that Edward's interest in Bella is purely due to the fact he can't read her mind and that if he could, would find her to be a fairly typical high school girl versus the great mystery he's set her up to. Oddly, I also fully embrace the idea that Jean is in love with Locke but aware he's not into him. Sabetha also has been thoroughly burned to the point that she will (or should not) ever give him the time of day again. I'm not sure this is even Death of the Author as I think Scott Lynch may have been setting up a subversion but Gentleman Bastards's Locke and his "devotion" to Sabetha is creepy, non-romantic, and actually unhealthy. The irony is that Harry doesn't believe he's this way. However, Harry ignores the beauty of the men around him (his brother aside) and overfocuses on the women because he's of the "sex is evil and I am horny" school of anal retentive repression. Magical beings are almost all preternaturally beautiful because, well, that's just mythology and they're Venus Fly Traps to muggles. I similarly view Harry Dresden as having a very biased and strangely heavily Catholic view of the world (possibly influenced by Michael Carpenter). Bast IS a fan of Kvothe but also exhausted with his self-aggrandizing. He can't help remember every girl as beautiful, interested in him, and determined to make him the center of their world.

#Death of the author full
Yes, bizarre comparison I know, but the view of mine is the fact that Kvothe thinks that he's giving a "warts and all" description of his past but his own memories are muddled and full of his own natural embellishments and biases that it's no more accurate than any other historical account. I tend to view the Kingkiller Chronicles through the lens of Al Bundy talking about his football days. This may be in interpreting a character or events or it may be an entire disagreement with the premise. So I thought it would be interesting to get people's thoughts on their favorite books and least favorite books that you have your own "Death of the Author" opinions on. Your job is to convey information and if you don't persuade readers to your view, well, that's on you. Speaking as an author myself, I tend to think that whenever it leaves my hand, it's up to the reader to have as much ownership as I do. We've all heard the term "Death of the Author" where the reader has the view of events and writing in the stories different than what was necessarily intended.
