+1,030 It would be so entertaining to write an amazing, bestselling book that seems to have tons symbolism, but really doesn’t. Then, when all these experts try and analyze it, you can laugh and tell them they’re wrong. “No, the window on Sophia's house is not frosty to represent her struggle to see past the surface of things; the window is frosty because it’s fucking winter time." amirite?

The curtains are red because of his hatred towards the world for his permanent state where he is numb and can't feel fabrics and the blood of a thousand warriors that died because of him. The curtains are because I like red curtains.

The curtains are red because I like red curtains.* Sorry I noticed it too late.

There was something similar on Tumblr or something: English teacher: The crow represents death, and how the characters are surrounded by gloom, even at the brightest moments of their life. Author: No, I just like birds.

The Great Tit is my favorite passerine bird name.

Actually, I would do the opposite - I'd write a best seller (preferably a children's book) that looks like it's really blatant and obvious, and then tell everyone that most of book was dick jokes and sexual innuendo.

hahaha that would be incredibly amazing as well. I'm going to be an elementary school teacher some day, so once you publish that, i'll be sure to incorporate it into the curriculum :P

But it would still have all the symbolism and representation irrelevant of the intentions of it. People would still make links whether they were intended or not.

Hey, Doug. Shut up.

Anytime.

Saying shut up does not argue your point. I'm still correct.

Telling me that doesn't change MY point. So once again, my point: Hey, Doug. Shut up.

But I'm still right. If a story has symbolism and sociocultural links, does it still have symbolism and sociocultural links whether they were intended or not? I can say what I want so don't tell me to shut up.

If the author did not purposefully put symbolism in certain things, I don't think other people can come in and say that there IS symbolism there. For example, lets say I'm an author, and in one chapter a character is wearing a purple jacket. When writing it, I chose to make her jacket purple because it's my favorite color, and it's simply the color I wanted her jacket to be. With this being said, outside sources cannot come in and say the purple jacket stands for a bunch of things. Sure, the color purple itself may stand for things, but in MY book, the jacket is purple because it's my favorite; not because there is any symbolism.

But I think what pEople are saying is that reguardless of wether or not an author intends for there to be symbolism, there will be those who say, hey that characters jacket is purple because of the childhood he spent watching barney and he is a pleasant person to be around as a result

I completely agree with that; people will still find "symbolism" behind things. However, the point of my post is that you would be able to tell them that they are wrong, and there is no symbolism behind it.

Correct, which is the point of this post, to be able tO tell people they are wrong.

At least you're more reasonable than LOv3. Yes true but symbolism is also what people think. C.S Lewis could have written the Chronicles of Narnia to be an entertaining book which he came to in a dream but it is still an analogy of the Bible irrelevant of the intentions of thee author.
