omg so i am! we should meet and exchange notes! even though i did the exam today and failed hard.

but dont get Jake started on the whole reading too deep thing. he absolutly hated having to analyse the feelings of the poet during an exam. and i agree too much emphasis is given to very small details. but its i think only because these works have been around so long that the more basic analyses have long been established.

i mean who'd find it a shocker to hear there was an underlying and to be fair very central theme of racism in Othello?
We were doing Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" as a central text this semester. I absolutely love that book, but the over-analysis thing is doubly true for texts as amorphous as that one, to the extent that the lecture essentially consisted of an itemised list of the various and completely different ways its been interpreted. Political readings, existential readings, epistemological readings... you name it, someone's thought of it. Truth is, with "death of the author" in effect, a text can be none of these things and all of them at once. You find whatever it is you're looking for, really.
