Summary

This quote reflects the idea that some writers may draw inspiration from personal tragedy, such as losing their parents at a young age. It suggests that such writers can freely explore dark themes without fear of consequences or judgment because they have no one to be accountable to.

This suggests that they may feel limited or restrained in their writing due to the consideration of their parents' perspective and expectations.
