Disagree with 4, though. The content itself is never vague-- it's really the vague situation the character is written in, the selection of an seemingly unimportant scene that in real life would never get much particular thought by anyone but somehow results in a defining insight into how the character's deepest parts of his soul functions because inference and interpretation is totally freaking awesome, that does the trick for 6. You're left asking: should I feel melancholy after reading? Hopeful? Is the cake a lie?
