Reader & Author
Relationship
As the name implies,
reader-response
criticism focuses on
the audience's
reactions to a film or
piece of literature.
The reader's part
is vital to the
meaning of a
text, according
to reader-
response theory,
because only via
the reading
experience can
the literary work
come back to
life.
Examining
Explaining
Defending your
reaction
The reader's function in
the formation of meaning
is studied in reader-
response criticism.
The author's strategies for
eliciting a specific response
from the audience can be
considered in this criticism.
The reader may be asked to explain
why he/she likes or dislike the
analysis, explain whether he/she
agree or disagree with the author,
determine the aim of the analysis, and
review the text.
