According to Foucault, author is an emerging figure which makes them distinguished from the normal person. Author lives and inspires people with their literary creation and sometimes they separate themselves from the outer world and unnecessary materialism attached with it. The characterization they provide is always significant. Thus, the importance of being an author gets the prioritization the most.
