Re: I have come not to bring peace, but a sword

That seemed to be the suggestion of your post.  For instance, you say "the genre of the sword carries us away from the symbolic into a real and actual arrival of justice."  The mention of "symbolic into real" implies symbolic is not real.

Since we were talking about symbolic and literal, and here you are saying that symbolic is not real, I inferred that you were saying literal meant real.  If you didn’t, my mistake.
