thetimemachine2-deactivated2022 asked:
How do you feel about theories about your work, especially if they turn out to be wrong? For example, if someone had a theory about a symbol meaning something or a character being a reference to something else. I only ask because I myself write and I know that sometimes the curtains are just blue, but I also love to theorize about works of fiction.
I don’t think theories about fiction can be wrong. I think people can be mistaken about their facts, though.
People can spot things I might not have been aware of, while missing things I put in, and that doesn’t make their theories wrong. It makes them theories.
Remember, when someone tells you what a story is about, they are always right, at least up to a point. If they tell you that’s all a story is about they are always wrong.
