>it's not bad though even without understanding
oh you can fuck right off. the reading experience is basically the fucking same whether you know the references or not, there isn't a single person on the planet that has changed their opinion of Moby-Dick because they did or didn't get the allusions to Shakespeare or the Bible - its a fucking novel in its own right. fuck off with your pointless light-handed gatekeeping, its complete dogshit.

>inb4 woah calm down dude
you and your type are the scourge of literary conversations across the world, you need to change your ways.

"For, mark it well, imitation is often the first charge brought against real originality. Why this is so, there is not space to set forth here."
