Kierkegaard had a host of personas. Don't think he ever had
a bag lady under a bridge but if we assume that the author
is a religious author, all the works can be explained, and
the so called aesthetic works than appear as indirect
communications in which the author attempts to reach his
readers by beginning from where they are. The aesthetic
works are written over pseudonyms because, unlike the
religious works, they do not represent the position of
Kierkegaard himself.
"I represented a worldly irony, joie de vivre, the subtlest
form of pleasure-seeking--without a trace of "seriousness
and positivity;" on the other hand, I was prodigiously witty
and interesting."
--The Point Of View of My Work As An Author, Kierkegaard
