The Audience’s response is more significant than the author’s intent, even though the author already has a meaning it's the audience’s response That piece that gives it a purpose . The Audience response to an author’s piece is more significant than what the authors intended for it to mean because when you’re reading something it doesn't show what the author is trying to get through, you’re just thinking in your head “oh it must mean this” because you want to believe that and it makes sense to you. What the author is trying to get through might not make that much sense to you at all so as a result you form your own meaning. Like in my significant song meaning assignment I did the song Nothing New by 21 Savage, and in this he talks

...rall effectiveness of the play by allowing the audience to make personal connections with the characters as well as strengthening the theme threads.
I think that the good novelist tries to provide his reader with vivid depictions of certain crucial and abiding patterns of human existence. This he attempts to do by reducing the chaos of human experience to artistic form. And when successful he provides the reader with a fresh vision of reality. For then through the symbolic action of his characters and plot he enables the reader to share forms of experience not immediately his own. And thus the reader is able to recognize the meaning and value of the presented experience as a whole. (Kostelanetz 10)
From this statement, I believe that there’s a fear of losing the expressive plane, if this problem triggers. On the other hand, we have the general audience. Listeners often neglect them. He argues that a good listener should know the musical structure in order to enhance the enjoyment of music on this plane.
He first discusses the evolution of the concept, second he looks at various decisions that Kenneth Burke makes on the theory, third he explains how Burke combines form, substance, idea and audience appeal into a single, critical principle, and fourth he argues that his theory is important because it provides rationale for combing language, idea, and appeal.
In the book The Other Side, the author uses tone, symbolism, and audience. She uses them in different ways throughout the story. This essay will be analyzing here use of tone, symbolism, and audience.
The potential audience of the Invention of Love is limited in the first instance by the fact that it is a play for the stage. By proxy, the audience will be likely to have some knowledge of classical literature, as they will have more of a culture of theatre going. There is more of a tradition of classics amongst those that would have seen the play when it was first shown. Stoppard was a long established playwright by this time ; hence classical references will be more understood and even expected in a play about a classicist. With its star writer and subject matter the audience of the play is therefore going to be made up of a number of certain types, from Scholars, poets, and members of society that frequently use the theatres. However, Stoppard does take time to eloquently explain certain principles and scholarly¬ cruxes to a layman audience. The fact that he is a popular playwright would have also attracted the audience to attend the play. To open this play to an audience that is more interested in the writer than the subject, as well as non-classicists, Stoppard uses characters of Houseman’s life to be ignorant for the audience, so they can ask questions for them; such as, in Jacksons dual role as Loved One of Houseman and mouthpiece of the audience.
In conclusion, it is hard to grasp the true meaning of the story unless the story is read a second time because of the author's style of writing.
The play also inhibits a vast amount of sub-plots as they allow the listener to create a sense that might bring a emotional connection. These plots allow the listener to...

reader creates “supplementary meaning” to the text by unconsciously setting up tension, also called binary opposition. Culler describes this process in his statement “The process of thematic interpretation requires us to move from facts towards values, so we can develop each thematic complex, retaining the opposition between them” (294). Though supplementary meaning created within the text can take many forms, within V...

Two methods of assuming this responsibility are discussed. First is the claim that a political message in an artwork is to be communicated without attempting to create an emotional anchor for the public to identify with. This method, primarily expounded by Brecht, sees the political message as the most important aspect of the work; thus it is crucial that the public receives it and does not get distracted. The second approach, as envisaged by Lukács, supports a representation of reality which allows an audience to relate to and identify with the political messages. The emotional connection is presented in this concept as essential to the successful transmission of an idea, as human beings relate more easily to topics they can connect to emotionally.
What does it mean to possess great significance? Initially when I confronted myself with this essay I struggled for an answer to this question. Just like religion, I have discovered that the characterization can be a difficult one - you know it when you see it, but cannot define it as easily. The dictionary broadly describes a significant element as “important; of consequence.” Of course, something significant is relative to the observer, dependent on their own judgment of what is and what is not important. This has led me to formulate that the really significant concepts hold sentimental, rather than material values. An expensive car or furnished boat has the same price tag regardless of who owns it. An old metal medallion passed down from generation to generation or a war-torn figurine has little to no importance to the general public, but to some, it evokes strong emotion and recollections of vivid experiences. This too has led me to formulate that something significant can induce powerful reactions, yet distinct to the individual - such that someone passing down the road may merely walk right by. So as I sat pondering what held great significance to me, what had sentimental worth and evoked strong reactions, something that a passerby might neglect to notice, but who would catch my full attention had I brushed past, it hit me. Not as some fantastical idea out of the dark, but through the vibration of technology; my cell phone was ringing. There is no price tag on my friends, and every day they walk past the general public, unnoticed. But, more importantly, more significantly, they have a phenomenal talent of bringing about special personal reactions that ultimately make me a stronger person. The friends I have made in ...
