I haven't watched the Apple TV+ series "Severance," but during a recent Washington Post Style interview Britt Lower, the actress who plays both Helena Eagen and Helly R. on the show, said something very interesting about how she toggles back and forth between the characters: "I had an English teacher in high school who used to say, “Don’t ask what the author meant, ask what they suggested.” Speaking as someone who always tries to suss out the writer's intent in any work of fiction, I found that distinction illuminating and plan to bear it in mind going forward.
