Paper Summary:

This paper tackles the reception of and reaction to, artists and their works by society, paying particular attention to the consequences of this towards the freedom of speech. It includes close references to, amongst others, the works and observations of Eminem, Oscar Wilde and Seamus Heaney.

From the Paper:

"The culture of apportioning blame onto those artists who may or may not have had a negative influence upon an individual is one that I feel to be totally flawed and in some cases completely unfair. Marshall Mathers has used various alter egos to put across his opinions and views, and through Slim Shady or Eminem I feel that many of his observations and experiences of society have been conveyed using the satire and parody these characters purvey. Unfortunately members of the public have taken it upon themselves to adjudge the responsibility of the actions of individuals who have interpreted his material in a literal manner onto Marshall Mathers himself."
