After reviewing the lecture, knowing too much about the author leads to misinterpretation. Personally as reader who had to read this for class, I will most likely not look up who or what has been written by Barthes. As to why, before watching the lecture & after reading "Death of the Author" I kept thinking to myself "what is the message he's trying to get his point across?" or "What is the point of the text?". I thought I was going to lose my mind, over what may have been his "intentions" were. I truthfully thought, is he implying that any author or artist will lose themselves in their work? To which then leads to madness? Due to the fact that he brought up Van Gogh as a reference, but after reviewing the lecture I was clearly wrong. I did not think the point of the reading of the text was about how the reader has full control rather than the author itself. This gave me a headache.

I believe the story is more about an internal struggle between good and evil. I believe he is trying to rationalize a decision to stray from his wife and he is struggling with the temptation. It's his morals that he is questioning, and he is comparing himself with others that present themselves with good morals. To justify this one time that he will act immoral. He is also looking back at has lineage to justify his immoral decision. In the end he realizes that his choice to stray is the end of his pure relationship with Faith. It is also the end of who he has worked to become. The thought that he could even consider doing this changes him.

Great class

Hello doctor! I am impressed buy your video If I need your guidance is there any kind of way to reach towards your social media?

Thank you 🙏🏾

Excellent! Thank you!

Excellent!

Thank you! This broke it down very well.

I don't understand why you would label the husband as an 'enabler'. He is trying his level best, within his means, to make his wife happy. He knows, probably, that she is unhappy with her surroundings and circumstances.... And if he does not provide, he is blamed for his insensitivity towards his wife.... I don't see how he can be a villain here... He also accompanied her into the life of abject poverty after that debacle... Didn't he?

Saw Midsommar last night! It was brutal, sadistic and generally creepy! That movie reminded me of The Lottery, a short story that we all read in English literature class!

I see Offred as the majority of women these days. Too involved in surviving daily life as we know it to pay attention to what really matters. And, according to the media, everything is a big deal if they say it is and it becomes impossible to determine what should be given serious attention.

Gregor, though transformed into an insect, is more human than any of his family members. So heartbreaking.

Arnold friend seems like one of those david lynch villains, who are able to look through you and exploit your insecurities. I think he is some kind of demon who is able to look at connies fantasies but not quite understand them, he understands her fears but only uses them to terrorize her. Maybe david lynch used this story to write his films lol

Offhand I'd say Carrie Buck had more reason to complain than women who are denied the pleasure of murdering their babies.

10:47 That's fucking awful!!!! Interesting political game but If you think of the perspective of being enslaved and than having to be used like that just twists your guts. The parallel with the Tale girls really hits this deeper too, and when we see Janine lose her baby* - a little miracle - in a world where everything was stripped from you and how this affects her it's really startling. Atwoods ideas are just masterful, authors this good are rare for me to find. *BUT it's not conclusive, it's the idea that it's conclusive that sends her into madness, it's very curious how this would be the starting point of many stories. The positions individuals take, their skill, can really be what defines a genre.

9:29 I'm listening while cooking so forgive me if i missed something but i wonder if even she thinks like that, we're seeing with our lens and she might thinks it's her duty, be proud or dont really give a damn. it's different times and we also must consider the individual too since no one is the same and people might reeeally differ from the general, i know that i do. Metatron said something crucial when talking Women King, he warned that if we change history facts to fit our modern ideals we can be sure people will do this about our moden day in the future. All of it its very scary if we think about.

The psychoanalytic curveball gave me some Shutter Island vibes, really enjoyed it!

❤❤

I was over here thinking that maybe Travis for whatever reason was working with the other politician and then killed the main character after manipulating the election but this seems way more likely 😭

I did not like Mary from her first words - she was being too subservient. Her endless "darlings" and her blindness to non-verbal signs felt wrong. Une "femme soumise". I cannot see a convincing manifestation of love in subservience. Is it my interpretation based on my presuppositions. I had no sympathy for either characters.

Speedrunner of story telling 🗿🗿🎉😊

Truly remarkable 😮

😊🤙🏽 Nice! Im needing this in my life if I want to be an authority in my community

So inspiring i have been lately spending most of my time in library!❤❤❤

Thank you for this detailed analysis! You managed to not only convey the message and how it was written but also inspired me to reread this essay with different eyes (and it is extra helpful because this story is mandatory for my German high school diploma exams) :D

Very good analysis of this short classic book

I was 12, (1974), a 5th grade teacher would read the last 15min of class everyday. She read this and I was blown away! I was so mad he didn't make it! As I grew older, I began to realize, that to me, the theme is that you can believe and hope that everything will be ok, but that sometimes in reality it isn't, no matter what you do! Damn.....

The analysis is excellent. The symbolism of crossing the highway is perfect - from the rich side to the poor side. Very well done.

This movie is powerful in what it does to people. I know people who can watch gory, bloody horror movies with a nonchalant attitude but are terrified of this movie. I have heard people tell me that it frightens them because "I am afraid that is me".

I will be keeping these steps for future use on choosing topics, thank you

I hadn’t really done a scholarly annotated bib, I usually just list my sources and be done with it. So its was very interesting to see the steps on making a correct annotated bib

This was for sure a very scary analysis, but the insight kept me interested thank you!

I feel like peer reviews might be one of the most important steps in writing

Even though I knew a couple steps already, thanks for reinforcing it again for me.

Thank you for helping me understand satire and rhetorical analysis, I struggled with rhetorical analysis so I had to watch this video again.

Thank you for the insightful tips.

Thank you for showing us how ethos, pathos’s and logos are used in our modern world

Lecture clearly explained ethos, pathos ,and logos

This video stresses that thesis should present a clear argument, something I often forget. I often make the mistake of just making a statement but your thesis needs to challenge something.

I still face some writing challenges, but outlining is my favorite part of the the essay process. Using clusters is something ill be implementing in the future

Procrastination is probably one of my biggest challenges. One of the things I resonated with lately is trying to write first thing in the morning just has been such a help, I’m able to process and sit on ideas instead of waiting for the last minute.

I always struggle with writers block, or put too much pressure on myself to come up with something “good” so it’s refreshing to hear that I’m not alone. But writing something “shitty” at first that you can build on was very insightful for me.

Thank you for this video It defineltly really helpful since I now of the people who don't know what topic to choose when a professor gives me the option to choose a topic. Its really easy top follow since the video is in a step by step process as well as simplified. I'll definitely save this video for when I don't know what topic to choose for when a professor gives me an assignment.

Thank you for making this video it was really useful, Since I know the Internent is a sketchy place to get information just like the example you said about Wikepedia, the steps really helped and guided me to avoid Misinformation. I also didn't know that a reverse image search existed to find that if images are original or not for that article.

This video really helped me understand the difference between Bibliography and a works cited page and the necessary things needed in order to create a Annotated bibliography. As well as the example you showed for MLA was of great use and really helped me to know how mine is supposed to look like.

Thank you so much you've made it much clearer. I'm writing an exam tomorrow, this video analysis came at the right time. 😊

This video is very helpful. Gave a lot of clarity because I tend to approach my papers with scrambled thoughts and it leaves me taking longer than I need to to write a paper. Thanks again for another great lecture.

This video is very helpful because I’ve never written annotated bib before. Thanks for the great tips.

This story kind of sent me on an emotional roller coaster. I didn’t really understand what This story kind of sent me on an emotional roller coaster. I didn’t really understand what I was reading at first, then I partly felt sad. But overall was a great read. Thanks for the lecture Dr. Kosters
