Bacon's perspective on the world is illustrated through his philosophical belief of living through screens. A screen can be utilized as a divider, but also something one may look through, similar to glass. Based on environmental conditions and/or state of the glass, it can either be transparent, opaque, or cracked. Those who innocently perceive the world are divided from the rest of the corrupt world, not being able to clearly see through the glass/screen. Unlike the normal way of seeing the world, "real seers" can see through the glass/screen clearly. The perspective is based on the conditions one lived through, causing their glass to be transparent or opaque. Do you think the idea of a screened existence is accurate? Why or why not?

I found this interesting because there are so many authors who've created their form of art, and ultimately led to being known as a classic. Typically, one can't necessarily dismiss their work, for they created the foundation to other works. For instance, many romantic clichés are derived from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, which is something one cannot necessarily question. What one can question are their morals, belief, etc. One may be in disagreement with it, but they can find their own beliefs through the work. Analyzing the author's perspectives can assist in formulating your own principles. Ultimately, it is not just about the words on the page, but the creator, the reader, and their minds.
