Most people think that the idea is
more important than the face and mind that thought it up; I enjoyed Foucault’s reading
because he disagrees. It actually reminds me of the movie V for Vendetta, in
the movie they talk about Guy Fawkes and how he tried to blow up the building
of Parliament. But years later only his idea of taking down the government was remembered
not the face behind it, except for the main character who thinks of him as a
person not just an idea. Foucault’s thinking was that it would help us set our
view of a piece of work by allowing us to classify and unify them under the
rubric of authorship. I agree with Foucault because I believe that the author
should be remembered for his or her work. That and if we understand the author then
we have a better chance of understanding and enjoying their work.
