Here's why:
* Reader-Response Criticism focuses on the reader's experience and interpretation of a text. It emphasizes that meaning is not inherent in the text itself, but rather created through the reader's interaction with it.
* Other schools of criticism might focus on different aspects:
* Formalism analyzes the text itself, looking at structure, style, and language.
* Feminist Criticism examines how gender roles and power dynamics are represented in literature.
* Marxist Criticism explores the social and economic contexts of the text.
Therefore, a critic from the Reader-Response school would be most interested in exploring how individual readers understand and interpret a book, and how their personal experiences, beliefs, and perspectives shape their reading experience.
