For the alternative point of view:
A playwright is not the best person to talk about his own work for the simple reason that he is often unaware of what he has written.
-- Alan Bennett
- kortilla 8y agoThe playwright is still within his/her realm to call bullshit when people claim that the playwright “meant X”.
- princeb 8y agothe writer's mind is a palette and on it are his experiences, his instincts, his biases. to be fully aware of the meaning "X" is to be fully aware of not only his own meta-cognition, but the context of the world that he lives in that coloured his person, that resulted in him deciding to write something in order to bring forth the message "X".
