In chapter 2 of “What is Literature and Does it Matter?” by Jonathon Culler, he defines literature from different angles and believes that literature can be shaped in various ways depending on everyone’s individual choices. when talking about fictional literature, Culler has mentioned that these types of literature give more freedom to the reader to make their own imagination and understanding instead of forcing only one explanation to the readers. As Culler has said that the meaning of every fictional reading “explicitly leaves open the question of what the fiction is really about”. This proves that the reader gets to make build their own context fo the reading through their understanding. some fictions even leave the ending for the readers to make their own ending story instead of informing them everything points by points.
