How do I cope with the fact that I will never, ever, EVER understand highbrow literature?

I used to like reading for pleasure but as soon as I started my degree in literature I realised I'll never have the faintest clue about the deeper meaning of most books. Never mind the fact that the Illiad, Odyssey and others felt like a complete slog. In a sense, the idea of studying and grasping literature had always appealed to me, but when push came to shove I got irredeemably filtered.

It depends on where those wantings are coming from, if they are coming from a place of maybe feeling inferior that is what is revealed to you, but ideas will come to yes
