ending in life of pi is confusing

The ending of Life of Pi is very confusing to me. Are we to assume that the majority of the story Pi tells is really an escapist fantasy to cover the far more mundane, not to mention horrible, events of the actual journey? So Richard Parker is used to substitute for the cannibalism of the actual humans on board, etc? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Yes. That is what we are supposed to assume.
