“ Okay, Flowery Language means that it is not meant to be literal.

Who chooses what it meant to be literal or not in their works? The author.

Even with Death of the Author, this just means that what the author says about the work after it’s released doesn’t matter, not what their intents while writing the work.

Also you seemed to post a very empty response, saying “No it’s not” is not a valid response at all”

Uldemaster, for love of god, I would say it again and I would do it again.

Even the text of a ancient novel in the narrative is not to being taken that ridiculously seriously.

You even admitted yourself that you are ill equipped to handle the ancient text that were centuries if not thousands of years old so don’t been so bold into claiming that itself.

Especially since contradicting statements in a novel can happen too with that text being that old too.

Keep pushing that argument as that would lead us nowhere.
