The five crowns symbolizing the five roads to enlightenment, and then the sketches of the nouns--evokative of a simpler age (yet with the apple of sin smack-dab in the center)--serves to prepare the viewer for the minipope's outreached hand. Is it a hello, or a fond farewell? Only the afterlife will know for sure.
Dr. Ueur's analysis reveals more about his own inner conflict with the notions of fiveness and fruit than it does about the original work. In asserting the symbolism of the five roads to enlightenment, he seeks to disguise his discomfort with fives by presenting them in a positive context. His emotional rejection of apples, by contrast, is too great; he must wrap them in both parentheses and Biblical rhetoric in order to address them. One can only hope that Dr. Ueur will find epistemological peace within his antiquated patriarchal notion of an afterlife.
