An academic's interpretation of any work tells us more about the person doing the interpreting than the work being examined. We all see the world around us through the filter of our own ideas, tastes, experiences and history. As a veteran of many literature analysis lectures, I can tell you you are absolutely right.

Apparently there are very few scents that are universally offensive. I am not sure modern perfumes are as darkly constructed.

It should be up in a few hours. I often wondered, still do, how much of a person's personal life goes into their academic positions and lectures. A lot more than one might guess, I guess.

I always had a disturbing notion that he might be referring to his own love life. Or his childhood. Then again, the two may just go hand in hand with most people.
