In considering the relationship between Author - text and Reader. The author has a certain function that our culture limits - excludes and chooses. The author is an ideological figure - multiple meanings. Liberate the reader from the author by questioning the interpretation of the author.
'Author Function' - is not a person but a set of belief or assumption - it doesn't affect all text in the same way. "The 'author function' is therefore characteristic of the mode of existence, circulation, and functioning of certain discourses within a society" -Michel Foucault
