I agree with Chris in many aspects. Sometimes, I get many different feelings from pieces of art and literature. It can be caused by different reasons: such as me not understanding the full history put in the work or because I did not understand the emotions. But, I, too, feel the same way. However, sometimes, I understand what the artist/author wants, and then I see my own meaning. In Tolstoy's opinion, I think the art or literature would be unsuccessful if it didn't communicate the same emotion or meaning the creator felt. But I'm not so sure. I think making anyone feel a certain way about something is an accomplishment. I can sometimes read something and feel nothing about it at all. I think the works that don't leave any impression are truly unsuccessful.
