I remember my time studying Freud's sex theory in literature class and how there are symbols that signified the sexual desire scatter around the story we've read, say, the male character took his pen(phallic symbol) and pierce some hole in the pink clothes(symbolizing female), and you can see this everywhere in the text if you look for it (though Freud humorously said that sometimes cigar is just a cigar, not everything has to be about sex) At the end of the day, I cannot help but think that half of the interpretation is just what my professor just made up because she really engrossed in Freud's theory. That being said, you will see anything you really want to see, if you look for it hard enough. If you think it's there, it will be there...
