That 'OH' moment is the best feeling ever as a Literature student.

Hold.
The one thing that I adore in reading is that 'OH' moment. It needs to be an 'OH' and not a mere 'oh'. The feeling when everything makes sense or when you realise that something that has always been there like say, water or a tree means something all together is the best feeling in the world. I love creating meaning in things. I love the idea of an object being a symbol of something.

THIS. This so much.
I can't really think of too many specific examples right now but the lightning-struck tree in Jane Eyre was a very big OH moment.
I fucking love symbolism bro. I know there's the risk of reading TOO much into things, but I decided a long time ago that over-analyzing is always better than not thinking about what you're reading at all.
Also, our symbolism detection skillz can be put to good use in other forms of media! (Think the title card graphics for every SPN season that tie in with the themes of that season as a whole - that was a big OH moment too).
