There are some linguistic and philosophical problematics associated with the following paragraph. Can anyone identify what are the issues? -
Carlyle explains that the true biographer, his ideal image of what the role entitles, does not merely 'reflect' the image and life of his subject but in addition to giving a clear picture of the protagonist he also subjects his central concern to his own artistic depiction and moulding to ultimately transfer the actual role of editing to the reader. He feels it is a necessity for the biographer to side his view on the subject for this result to be achieved.

The problem in the first sentence may be that, it says the true picture of the biographer's subject is not portrayed but a clear picture of the protagonist is. But protagonist means the central or main character of the biography or other work, so it should be biographer instead of protagonist.
A true biographer's duty is to serve the curious readers with truths about the subject so that they do not have a false impression of it. A biography with the author's view in it will cause most readers to follow the same view instead of creating one's own.
