Well this is the thing. I'm sort of on the fence about the scene in general. Like you said it's fairly well known but I'm not sure if, without the proper explanation or description per se they will "Get it" The challenge I'm facing is not wanting to underestimate my audience but I'm trying to be aware that (Obviously) people aren't going to analyse my stuff as much as they would Joyce or Chekhov.

There are a lot of biblical references throughout. Hopefully, it gets published and you guys can read it. I think of this place as existing on the more well-read side of the bell curve generally speaking so for you to miss it sort of implies to me that maybe it is vague to the point of meaninglessly. It's a tricky balance. Also there is another layer, not to gloat, assuming I can do it in the way I want it there are several layers to the scene. And the book too.

Thank you both for the feed back

Try writing romance and you'll feel something far worse. Then just go back and it will be a comfortable misery you rest in.

Just make one up

You'll just get tired of it eventually and move on. There is no point in worrying obviously. I used to feel the same. I was pretty bad, I would routinely wake my mother up while in elementary school because this exact thing was weighing down on me. She now never lets me forget that cringe phase. It's like running or crying or something. Eventually you'll just sort of stop on your own
