Tova:
Let me rephrase. I personally find that overanalysis can kill even the best stories.

That's just me. You, of course, are free to overanalyse to your heart's content, if you so choose.

Well yeah. Perfect characters are mind bogglingly tedious in fiction. In real life too I expect.

I get by.

I appreciated the meta-humour. :D

So, I was listening to some music and decided to play the Coco soundtrack. When I came to the track titled Everyone Knows Juanita, I immediately thought of this thread. It's a short simple song that goes to the heart of the strange and ineffable nature of human attraction. It seemed relevant to this conversation, so here it is.

I knew I recognized that song title!

ALL the way, this!

There's a well loved poster on Willis' oeuvre who dissects each panel to the Nth degree.
Al lot of people who post there "say" they like that.

Me? I blip right past them.

Cornelius:
Just about lesson one in narratology: your interpretation is your own, no matter how much you may think that's what the author meant.

Thrudd:
With respect to that Venn diagram on just how much a teacher can get something wrong - My little brother took a course in uni and the prof was failing a certain mature student who was argumentative about key points on the subject matter until mud terms. The story goes that the student went to the dean to complain about the prof and how they were getting the course material completely wrong. The dean was fully supportive of the prof until the student put the course text on his desk and asked him if the prof wrote the book. In a comedy film there would be the sound effects of grinding gears and screeching tires. - Why yes this mature student was the author of the book and his picture was on the back of the dust jacket -  The gentleman in question did not have the appropriate degree for his position under government contract so his company sponsored his return to school to keep the bureaucrats happy. - I think the former prof is now selling real-estate  :roll:
