(My previous post should have said interpretation, not inspiration)

Whose interpretation is more important is meaningless to me.
If authorial intent rules, then any analysis does die the moment the author expresses the intent. I acknowledge that authors can intend something, but that's separate from what I see. A work exists on its own. If the author wanted to clarify their intentions, they should put that in the text.


But where the author didn't clarify, you should consider their possible intentions in your analysis. Context can only enhance analysis, not hurt it. My problem with deconstructionist analysis is it explicitly aims to remove context which creates for an infinite number of "right" perspectives.
