The comparison of a real author and God creates a strong link with Christianity and its philosophy, and introduces themes of forgiveness, guilt, and atonement, as critically important parts of human lives. From this perspective, they can be viewed as God-figures who possess unlimited power to introduce any change (Bloxham 400). It means that all authors remain responsible for the characters they created and the sufferings they have to experience to convey the main message of the creators.
