Kermode's "The Genesis Of Secrecy" - Critical Summary And Response

Interpretation comes in as many forms as the number of people attempting to construe the meaning of a given concept; to pin a singular approach to or expectation of interpretation is to remove the very personal element inherent to drawing analysis. Kermode's approach addresses the aspects of knowledge and interpretation as they directly relate to the concepts of existence and meaning, a duality whereby the author provides readers with a greater understanding of why interpretation is so elusive and how that ambiguity causes misconception, discord and downright erroneous belief.
