As a former English teacher, I can confidently say that there doesn’t have to be a deeper meaning. You can always apply different branches of critical theory to find different layers to a story if you want, but you can also just get swept up in the story and enjoy it for what it is. It doesn’t matter what the author INTENDED you to get out of a story, but rather what elements speak to you specifically. Don’t feel bad! It’s okay to just enjoy things! ^_^
