In the exclusive context of closed narratives, the worldviews
presented are those of the point-of-view characters.
Otherwise, they're not point-of-view characters. If a reader
sees beyond the sensory experiences/opinions, etc., of the
closed narrator, then the reader is interpreting. Which is
part of the fun of reading, of course. However, I'd suggest
that reader's interpretations are not pertinent to the
original question, which specifically addressed the author's
worldview ('can you think of many authors whose worldviews
are inconsistent throughout their output?').
If we're talking omniscient narrators, then that's a whole
different ball game.
