Writing Advice

The meaning of a story should go on expanding for the reader. The more they think about it, but meaning can not be captured in the interpretation. If writers are in the habit of approaching a story as if it were a research problem for which any answer is believable as long as it is not abvious. Then I think writers and readers will never learn to enjoy fiction. Too much interpretation is certainly worse than to little and where feeling of a story is absent, theory won't necessarily supply.

For example
Think about this

When a man gives you a rose what you see may not be what he intends. You may think he sees you as delicate and frail. Perhaps you dislike a suitor that considers you sweet and nothing else. Perhaps the stem is a thorn, and he thinks you likely to hurt a hand to quick to touch, but if he trims the thorns you might think he has no liking for something that can defend itself with its sharpness. There are so many ways a thing can be interpretated
