Orwell's diagnosis of Tolstoy's anger at Shakespeare is that Tolstoy had very strong *moral* opinions that you can see all through his work and got really mad at Shakespeare's tragedies for "violating his moral sense" Apparently Chekhov's sad plays fall in the same category

(It's especially iffy because of Lewis doubling down on the idea that humans in Narnia are and always have been descendants of humans from Earth because Adam and Eve were only created once, and the various implications of that he doesn't get into)

this is the "literary interpretation" side i didn't talk about as much. where tolkien was like "fictions are representations of possible worlds and all possible worlds contain the savior christ," lewis feels much more in the "it's just a story, man, it evokes a /feeling/" vein
