Why is E wrong?

[Adam Tyson]

The author of the passage is telling us that meaning depends largely on the reader, RottenPJ. Bettelheim and others interpret the stories in one way, while people in other cultures may find an entirely different meaning. It's never about what the author intended, but about how some people choose to interpret them, including the notions that they prefer to ignore. That's what makes D a great answer, while answer E is essentially the opposite.
