If you're going to get into analysis of subtext without considering authorial intent, it doesn't really work because at that level (which is really more like sub-subtext, or underneath the underneath if you will) everything is completely subjective to the reader. What some people see, others will miss completely, and oftentimes people will come out of it with exactly the opposite views. Discussion on that level is pretty much meaningless because not only are all participants working off of different playbooks, odds are pretty good they aren't even playing the same sport.
