I'm wondering **why** you want to ensure that readers don't interpret. Readers, and especially fans, **love** to discuss fan theories and interpretations. The discussion of fan theories about Game of Thrones on YouTube probably fills ten times the running length of the show. People **want** this, and no matter how much you try to, they **will** find something. I share Cyns judgement about lit-crit class. In fact, when I was in school a long time ago, I got so fed up with the interpretation of poems that when the teacher asked if someone wants to submit their own poems to the class, I sat down on my computer and wrote a relatively simple random poetry creator. It was astonishing to see which deep meanings and complex symbolism people "discovered" in something that definitely had neither of that. They will find it. Whether or not you put it in. So don't worry about it.
