the most frustrating thing about the "the curtains are just blue" arguement is that it is So Fucking Obvious how astronomically little of it is supported by actual valid points compared to how much of it is overwhelmingly just. people who are mad their teachers made them Read A Book And Think About What It Said. like. there is a Chance that you're actually trying to make a point about minimal details being overanalyzed to the point where the main point of the book is overshadowed. but. to me there is a Way Bigger Chance you are just mad that you were told to look for symbolism in a text where there actually was a lot of symbolism and you didn’t feel like doing it.
