Well it's open to interpretation
That doesnt mean both interpretations are correct

For a long time, critics believed that the "author's intention" was the correct interpretation of a work. However, that belief has come under fire in recent years as works of art, music, literature, and film cross cultural boundaries and live for centuries. When those things happen, art is naturally reinterpreted in different ways by different audiences.
Also, we know that authors and composers lie about their own work (e.g., Igor Stravinsky) to obscure the original intent
Thus, the idea of a single "correct" interpretation, as one might find in science, simply doesn't exist. Some interpretations are founded on more concrete evidence than others. Hence, they might be more persuasive to a given audience in a given time period.
For some, this is what makes art frustrating. For others (like me), this is what makes art exciting and alive.
