For a long time, scholars all over the world tried to decode hieroglyphs. Many who studied hieroglyphs mistakenly believed each was a symbol, for none had any knowledge in the language.
Literature is almost an unspoken language. There are so many ways to interpret and argue with it, that it compels writers to test past arguments, inquire on scholarly findings and revamp literature in his or her own way. It can benefit us professionally because it forces us to dig into the flesh of text to figure out the message that the author tried to relay to us. Personally it can help us to strengthen our own vocabulary or writings.
I am not sure what we are supposed to do here, if you don’t mind explaining :)
