symbolism can be interpreted regardless of the author's objective though

I agree with this. We can look for deeper meanings in something even if it wasn't intended.

Even if the author didn't intend to convey a message or feeling with a description, it could mean that the author themselves was feeling that way about it as they created it in their mind.

Drawing parallels between stories that weren't intended are also vid. There's a lot of overlap in story telling and what we read or soak up from our culture can influence the stories that are told.

I'm also not a writer so what do I know. I just like descriptions that help me picture a scene.
