Identify two types of a reader

1. The informed Reader- This is the reader who has attained the literary competence
necessary to analyze the text. He understands a text's linguistic and literary complexity,
and tries as much as possible to suppress his personal dimension in his response. In short,
an informed reader is a professional in the literary discipline. He may also be called the
'educated reader'.

2. The implied Reader- This term was popularized by Wolfgang Iser to refer to that reader
that the text seems to be addressing. The implied reader is established by studying the
style and the apparent 'attitude' of the narrative towards the reader.
