Not at all. I was just replying to what was said about what Myrna said. The only evidence of whether something is in character is the work itself.

But aside from that, I do find discussions of what characterization is, and different approaches authors take to their craft, as well as how readers interpret the works.

So even though authorial intent means nothing to me in interpreting the work itself, I still find it interesting in terms of considering creatI've process.
