So It was "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote" just a Borges excuse to shit on Cervantes?
Yes.
No.
I don't know.
What the fuck is that story about?

It was a subtle criticism of copyright laws.

I think you have the right idea, but I'd say it goes much further than that.
It's chiefly an exploration of:
1. The influence of context on the reception and analysis of a written work – or indeed any work of art
2. The very nature of what it means to be "original"
That's my interpretation of it, anyway.

>"Haha, what if someone tried to write an exact copy of Don Quizote?" But it is only my interpretation. It cannot be that simple.

Holy shit what is the point of this thread? What compelled you to ask this question, and what personality flaw is to blame? What made you sit down, type this post out, and then attach an image? Was there a grand plan? What type of responses are you expecting?
Because by the looks of this question, its sheer marginality in scope, it does not seem that you will get much at all, at least not enough to gratify your inanity.
