Why don't normies appreciate or understand great literature?

Because cultural continuity has been largely broken, resulting in the average man being barely, if at all, able to meaningfully relate to the values of the past. For example, Cicero's patriotism, his unshakeable faith in a mixture of meritocracy and aristocracy combined with the supposition that people are for the most part predetermined by their innate nature, his hatred for the unchecked rule of peasantry and so on and so forth communicate nothing to the contemporary man who has been relentlessly indoctrinated since birth to reject any semblance of normality and to firmly support an outlook contrary to nature. Furthermore, even the most brainwashed register on a subconscious level that something is not right, the something being their entire system of beliefs, which is the direct cause of various mental disorders, above all else overwhelming depression. We live in a world of inverted values.

Moby Dick is about a guy trying to kill a whale.

The themes, the character and his journey can be useful metaphors for other things, and those narratives can be explored using it. But Moby Dick is still about a guy trying to kill a whale.

Finding meaning in something, even if the meaning was left there to be found on purpose, doesn't magically transpose the material you found it in.

Because it’s more like:
>take the actual meaning of a book Published in the 1920’s

>now add the feminist interpretation that came into vogue in the 1970’s
>now take the post-colonial view that came into vogue in the 1980’s
>now discuss the “queer reading”
>now establish the “death of the author” so whoever hasn’t been jerked off yet can have their turn

dude, I didnt even read it and yet I know there are long passages in the text where the charachters ramble about God and Life.
If your post was bait, have your you.
If you were serious, well, keep you anti-intellectualism up, who knows, maybe you're right.
