I don't think these concepts occurred in Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings. Is it possible you maybe you made these up?

"Reading" into text (similar to reading betwen the lines) is a skill taught in the arts. The idea is that there are meanings beyond the literal. Symbols can stand in for feelings or ideas, and multiple interpretations can be kinda true and not true at the same time. Here's an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nucYxqgiV7k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nucYxqgiV7k The literal interpretation is that this is a liquid that alters people's perceptions, and you could ask literal questions about it. - How was it made? - How do the police know if people are drinking it? - What are its effects on the brain? But those questions don't have satisfying answers, because it's a symbol, a stand-in, a variable: - It's an allusion to "rose-colored glasses". When people are passionate, they look for the good and ignore problems. - It's about addiction. The act of drinking is similar to drinking alcohol. He "comes to" in a filthy, miserable living space, the same way someone would after a downwards spiral caused by substance abuse. - It's about social pressure, "drinking the koolaid", and the emptiness of modern office life. Which one of these interpretations is "the right one"? None? All?
