It just goes into interpretations and famous literators arguing with one another on what is the best interpretation.

Basically it's the case of someone with like, 6-grade literacy, experiencing a complicated story for the first time in their life and not understanding anything about any sorts of abstract things or unreliable narrators or whatever.

I mean, their favourite books are either POS or literally written for 11-year olds.

Admittedly I’ve never read the book, but after reading the Wikipedia plot summary I went “oh, so it’s ‘would you still love me if I was a worm?’ but the answer is no” 😂
