Someone on the Coleridge thread said a good teacher doesn't give detailed notes on a work; instead you should come up with your own ideas. This sounded odd to me because you may be saying what the writer intended when in fact it never crossed the writer's mind.
South Park satirised this once when Butters was writing nonsense about poop and adult intellectuals were quarrelling over interpreting what the author was 'really saying'.
I'm all for personal interpretations and experiences but to say that one's own opinion is what the author was 'really meaning' is a bit like religious people quarrelling over some vague religious verse with contradictory interpretations, isn't it?
Isn't it weird and wrong to 'interpret meanings' that the author never intended?
