Further Explanation.
Reader Response theory means exactly what its title says. It is simple how a reader responds to a certain text. It is how and individual interprets what they are reading. Personality plays an important role in this theory because depending on their personality, they may see meanings in a text differently than what other people may see it as.
In a formal way of interpreting a novel, you
would simply understand it as directly as what
the book says. Reader Response theory allows
us to look at a text and see it differently than
how the direct meaning is supposed to be. You
may look at a book and instead of the scary
creature being the bad guy like the literal
meaning says, you may see the creature as the
hero. This only works though if you can
back it up with evidence in the text.
