It is seen that the issue of meaning in literature and philosophy is highly emphasized in the last century. These issues usually focus on these questions: do these texts have one meaning or is it possible to have unlimited interpretations and meanings? Also, is the meaning placed in the text hidden or does it depend on the reader? Recently, reader-response theories are quite common and they claim that a text can be interpreted freely without any limits. Though Umberto Eco was considered as a reader- response critic at first, he later asserted that his philosophy requires the reader- text dialectic. In this context, Eco draw a line for interpretation by saying that a text can be interpreted freely but not each interpretation would be equally correct. response critic at first, he later asserted that his philosophy requires the reader- text dialectic.
