Bond and Fleming

As an author Fleming draws the reader into his novel. He causes us to pay attention with his many uses of details, details and more details. Fleming brings about a sort of discipline in his writing as Foucault points out “a type of power, a modality for [his] exercise, comprising a whole set of instruments, techniques, procedures [and] levels of application” (Panopticism, 206).” Fleming gives James Bond a sense of individuality in the sense that James Bond as mostly anything to his disposal like money and is not necessarily bound by law as he somewhat represents the law as due to his regulation as a government agent. On one level Fleming uses Bond to represent the government and the people in the sense that Bond “constitute[s] the same type of law on a different scale” (Panopticism, 212), as a regular person without judicial power by taking the law in there own hands but on another level he (Bond) as the right to because he is backed by the power of the law and his own desires.
