Patrick: I didn't mean to say that no books are literally true. Although
"bad boy stoning a cat" has so many analogues in other metaphysical systems
that it's hard not to suspect both borrowing and archetypal symbolism. I's
guess that we're dealing here with an inversion of the sponsus-sponsa
relationship, reflective of bad boy's fallen nature.
