I will tell you that definition is wrong, and I bet I can prove it... The only likely hitch is finding a book and if I don't have them on every level of my house in at least ten different cases and cabinates then you can kiss my ass...
During my short stay, one year, at university, I was an English Major and did consider becoming a writer... It was in the process of writing and trying to write better that I learned about Magic, Anthropology, Theology, Philosophy, and History as well as becoming well acquanted with certain writers of fiction, which is a process going on for me yet today...Do I know what ever the writer intended multistory meaning to mean when he wrote it??? That would be efin impossible without more information... I do know that writers deliberately reference other stories, as in Billy Bud referencing the story of Jesus' crucifixtion, and even the tree of life as the cross referencing the Genesis story of the tree of knowledge which is the tree of death... But is this any different than Bob Dillon refering to the line of crosses as a Watch Tower, and that being the name of a famous Christian publication??? No one writes in a vacuum... Every good writer copies and builds upon certain themes which register Archetipically with humanity from our earlies myths...
