I took a short story class in college. We were supposed to analyze a bunch of short stories.
I’m admittedly pretty dense. Even in my mid 50’s, I have virtually no introspective ability. I take things at face value.
The instructor must have led a somewhat perverted lifestyle. He saw graphic and demented sex in every word of every story.
I did poorly in that course because I just don’t and can’t bring myself to think that way.
Yep. I thought my professor was seeing things that weren’t really there...ascribing motives to writers that sounded false to me.
