But if you want to know the meaning of the play, you will have to read it and enter into its interiority, its meaning, its intentions, its depths. The only way you can do that is by interpretation: What does this sentence mean? Here empirical science is virtually worthless, because we are entering interior domains and symbolic depths, which cannot be accessed by exterior empiricism but only by introspection and interpretation. Not just objective, but intersubjective. Not just monological, but dialogical.
