In some pieces of literature the intention of the author is rather apparent, sometimes blatantly so. There is no effort made to conceal the author's political opinions or other biases. The works of George Orwell are a good example of this.

Just as often however the author will hide or disguise or remain completely aloof of what the story is attempting to convey. The story, in this case, is an entity unto itself that may be illustrating a concept or theme that is independent of the author's private beliefs. A good example of this is 'Childhood's End' by Arthur C. Clarke. This story is Clarke's attempt at telepathy carried to its ultimate extrapolation. In reality Clarke was contemptuous of the idea of telepathy and spiritualism.

In the works of Ray Bradbury, the main idea of most of them, is to make the reader feel a certain way, ( most often morbid wonder.) We may get a sense that he feels pro-democracy and anti-fascist but this may just be him employing 'local prejudices' to his own ends for this story.
