@Bookworm I'm experimenting with a "general interpretation" question here to see if anyone likes the format. I hope it doesn't get closed as "too broad". It's not trivial to find works that are interesting to read, complex enough to reward interpretation, and which haven't already been annotated by scholars.
@Tsundoku Fair point, but then "interpretations of passages from a longer work" is surely going to cover hundreds of questions on this site. And would it really be full interpretations, in the sense that most of our interpretation questions are about analysing a work end-to-end and picking out details about every aspect?

I'm looking for a new job. I had a conversation with the founder of a small consultancy, hardly a formal interview. It's just a matter of agreeing on what I might get paid...
It's consultancy, training and audits for digital accessibility, i.e. making sure that websites and electronic documents (and sometimes apps) are accessible for people with disabilities.
Strictly speaking, if there is research on how specific types of literature are received among certain audiences, the question is perfectly objective. But I haven't read that type of research yet.
