Is that Late for School scene supposed to be a Shout-Out to a similar scene from that other show, where things go immediately wrong after? Is it a satire of such scenes to demonstrate how cheesy they would be in real life? Are the background elements Genius Bonuses or just plain Accidentally Correct Writing? Did they make the symbolism too obvious to distract from the real symbolism hiding in the same scene? This Very Wiki isn't exempt from inflicting this kind of paranoia either, as all of us here know.
it could be a Deal with the Devil short-term pleasure resulting in permanent bodily ruination! What Do You Mean, It's Not Symbolic? Thus the Epileptic Trees are planted. Is that box of Corntos one character is handing another a mere confection or is it a blessing from On High, manna sent from a merciful God? Or wait. Rampant paranoia results from this state one cannot look at anything without being suspicious that this is some kind of allegory brainwashing you into learning An Aesop against your will. The end result of this is a state of mind that interprets every plot as an allegory for the rebuilding of one's soul, every setting as a manifestation of purgatory, and every protagonist as a stand-in for the Christ: Everyone is Jesus in purgatory!
Memories of that overzealous English teacher, who forced you to accept that every character, every scene and every action had a deep inner meaning have led to widespread fear on the part of readers and viewers everywhere that every tale secretly contains some other story being told in subtext.
