The document outlines four literary theories: 1. Reader Response theory holds that meaning is created through the interaction between text and reader. 2. Structuralism argues that meaning resides in the structure of language rather than in the reader or art. 3.

The meaning resides in text, history, and ideology: messages of oppression and class conflict.
