I just have to add that this made me think...who reads stories for themes and Greater Ideas anyway??
I certainly don't read books to for themes and morals. That sounds like such a bore. So obviously, as I'm not reading so I can enjoy a theme, I'm not going to relate with the idea of using characters -- people as just symbols of something Great. Or some kind of morality message.
