Pillowman again?

Do we really have to discuss this play again in class? Admittingly, I would rather we not discuss anything at all in class because I loathe over analyzing literature, but this play is ridiculous. I did enjoy reading through it, but talking about it just seems dull; probably because the stories in the play are so weird. I'm not sure exactly what Martin McDonagh was trying to express when he wrote The Pillowman, but I hope his intentions weren't to have it picked apart for hidden meanings about what he is really saying. I think that is the one major reason why I would never become a writer. I like to write for the most part and I think I can write well when I try to, but I would definately not in some secret code that would take an english professor and a class full of young minds to several hours to decipher. I write simply to tell a story or to convey a point, and as Katurian says in Pillowman, I think that stories should be taken as just that, stories. I would argue that this is the reason that many students hate reading so much in today's world. Here is an interesting link suggesting that I am wrong about people not liking to read.
