Secret Sharer Reader Response
1,132 wordsDeconstruction is a post-structural school of philosophy and literary criticism that was developed by French philosopher Jacques Derrida. Although he is credited with its origins, he seems to have borrowed heavily from German philosophers, Friedrich Neitzsche and Martin Heidegger, who radically questioned the validity of basic philosophical concepts and Chinese philosopher, Lao Tse who embraced the harmony of opposites. In one of his short texts Tse wrote: Therefore having and not having arise t...

Rose For Emily Reader Response
478 wordsWilliam Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" can have many different reader-responses, as any story can, however it is the responsibility of reader-response critics, like Robert Crosman, to determine if they are valid and helpful in understanding the story. "How Readers Make Meaning" is a failed attempt by Crosman to show that any reader response, no matter how far fetched, can be helpful in the interpretation of a story.

One With The Story Text In The Reader Feel

In other words the text itself has no meaning until it is read and interpreted by the reader. This analysis can take into account the strategies employed by the author to elicit a certain response from readers.

Rose For Emily Homer Barron
1,626 words... Faulkner had never attached any importance to the character of manservant and, in all probability, it simply never occurred to him that anyone would be asking questions, regarding the issue. Don't let us forget that Faulkner himself came from the family of wealthy Southern landowners, whose predecessors owned slaves.
