Derrida, like most people, fear that other people will react negatively to his work. In the video, Derrida states that he usually criticizes people and institutions and is afraid of the repercussions. I feel that his fear stems from natural self-doubt.
I feel that the fear of being judged is what motivates the fear. I have a similar self-doubt in my writing like Derrida. I feel restricted when writing essays, believing that if I try to do something different or new it will backfire. As a result, I stay close to the guidelines.
Derrida certainly has a deep respect for the power of writing. In the video he states that a type of “force” overpowers him to write and that it is a necessity. He then states that if he renounces his work there will be consequences. From these comments, I feel that Derrida believes that writing his something that is bigger than himself.
