Who cares?
It's entertaining, the allegory/symbolism works on a few different levels and its a weird fucking thing that exists
I don't think he made it with the mindset of "only religious scholars will get this"
That sort of storytelling isn't entertaining to me at all though. It comes off as lazy and heavy-handed.
And I'm not saying he had to construe the metaphor so no one would get it. I'm saying he needed something other than the metaphor. Symbolism is cool when it's an additional story layer. It's not entertaining when symbolism is your entire story.
