    BarthesStrip-Tease Barthes describes strip-tease as a way of desexualising and objectifying women. In the context of the early 20th century‚ there is a need to reconcile the erotic and homely functions of women‚ as disclosed by Freud’s studies. Strip-tease represents for Barthes the way in which this union becomes possible. The essay considers the role of women and the image of sex in Bourgeois society. The fact that‚ contrary to other essays‚ Barthes does not use irony‚ suggests that he is

    Toys by‚ Barthes In: “Toys” Barthes goes over his thoughts and findings on (French Toys). I found the story an odd read due to the content of Barthes writings. Having toys as a child I can see the related issues he brings up in his writings about (Dolls) and (Military) toys for children and the way they help to raise them in to adult hood. It is a very straight forward way of thing and in our day in age now‚ quite barbaric thinking. Many children today do not play with (Toys). The children

    Analysis of Roland Barthes “The Death of the Author”     Roland Barthes says in his essay The Death of the Author‚ “The birth of the reader must be at the cost of the death of the Author.” For the most part I agree with this statement. There can be no real level of independent thinking achieved by the reader if their thoughts are dictated by the Author’s opinions and biases. For this reason there needs to be a distance between the Author and those who read the work.     Barthes makes two main points

    creates the world. Ronald Barthes is a postmodernist. His writings reflect his beliefs that language changes consciousness and then the world. There are obviously many differences between Eliot’s text‚ "Tradition and the Individual Talent‚" and Barthes’ text‚ "The Death of the Author." They are two different authors from different time periods of literature who developed different beliefs and opinions. Even though there seems to be so many differences between Eliot and Barthes‚ these two texts composed
