Why can't we simply enjoy stories without analyzing them to death?
- Because it's human nature. We all want to know who's behind the curtain. Stories are our OZ and authors are our Wizards. And we can never be satisfied with what's given to us. No. We must know what is behind that curtain. Who is the author? What's his story and how has his past affected his writing? What did he intend? How?Why? Questions, questions and yet more questions. But why must we know? Why must we disillusion ourselves, the world will do that plenty. Perhaps we question so that we are never taken unawares, untrusting, and unwilling to believe in something because everything is too good to be true.
Or maybe, just maybe, within each of or breasts beats the heart of an author, longing to have her/his words live forever. Perhaps we are just looking for the way, always looking for the path that leads to greatness and we hope that by seeing how others have done this finding how we might accomplish this ourselves.
