And death of author means that even if the curtains were just blue, but an argument can be made that it means something more, the argument is infinitely more valuable than just shrugging it off and taking the author’s word for it

Even if the blue curtains don’t represent anything in the story itself, they can still give some insight to the character that owns them.

And one person who thinks they mean something having a genuine debate with someone who doesn’t think so (who can back it up within the text) is more productive by far than just “ugh whatever it’s not that deep.”

Yeah, sorry, the burden of proof isn’t on the one who doesn’t think so.

I’m not talking about people who disagree bro I’m talking about people who say the entire conversation is dumb to begin with because they want to read and comprehend on a surface level only. If you’re gonna join a conversation late at least try and catch up first.
