Retroanalysis . . .

. . . is the curse of our age. You can certainly interpret H's laments over his mother's hasty marriage in Act I as being unseemly if you want to, and I'm sure it's been played that way -- but probably not before this century. (You can also impoart homosexual motives to Beethoven's fight for guardianship of his nephew, or see phallic symbolism in the crew of the Pequod going after whales with long sharp objects -- but I'm unaware of any whale ever being knocked out by a doughnut).
