Reader response theory

1. Reader response theory is a literary theory that emphasizes the role of the reader in interpreting and understanding a literary work. It suggests that the meaning of a
text is not fixed, but rather depends on the reader's individual interpretation and response.
2. Transactional reader response theory is an extension of reader response theory that emphasizes the dynamic interaction between the reader and the text. It suggests
that meaning is not solely determined by the reader or the text, but rather emerges from the transaction between the two.
