The question isn't whether or not it is predicated on being ambiguous its whether or not literature and art can be too ambiguous.

So how does the whole Hitler analogy not make sense? Nietzsche's entire philosophy was about creating your own virtue and rising above the virtue of the pack mentality of others. Rising above others is inseparable from his philosophy because of the way he regards the self in relation to the pack, who he refers to as the rabble. I read Zarathustra and I find it hard to argue against the whole Hitler loved Nietzsche example. Unless there's something else i missed in his other works which you would like to explain to me, but what I read seemed pretty clear. In fact I could probably point to 1 in every 3 of the parables in Zarathustra and use it as example for Hitlers justification. My point is, you say your professor "summed up" Nietzsche with a throwaway line but your post lacks the same amount of depth which you accuse them of.
