Mr Buxton taught me Shakespeare in 10th grade We were reading Macbeth Mr Buxton who probably had better things to do nonetheless agreed to meet one night to go over the text line by line The first thing he did was point out the repetition of themes For example the reversals of things
What Mr Buxton didn't tell me was what the play meant He left the conclusions to me The situation was much the same with my teacher in 11th grade Mr Flanders who encouraged me to have my own relationship with the books
High school was followed by college where I read Umberto Eco's The Role of the Reader in which it is said that the reader completes the text and that the text is never finished until it meets its voracious(渴求) and engaged reader The open texts Eco calls them In college I read some of the great Europeans and Latin Americans Borges and Kafka Jean Genet and Beckett Artaud Proust—open texts all I may not have known why Kafka's Metamorphosis is about a guy who turns into a bug but I knew that some said cockroaches and others European dung beetles
There are those critics of course who insist that there are right ways and wrong ways to read every book No doubt they arrived at these beliefs through their own adventures in the stacks And these are important questions for philosophers of every stripe And yet I know only what joy and enthusiasm about reading have taught me in bookstores new and used
There is not now and never will be an authority who can tell me how to interpret how to read how to find the pearl of literary meaning in all cases
Supposing the truth is not hard fast masculine simple direct You could spend a lifetime thinking about this sentence and making it your own In just this way I believe in the freedom to see literature history truth unfolding ahead of me like a book whose spine has just now been cracked
1When did the author begin to read Shakespeare's work
AIn primary school BIn 11th grade CIn secondary school DIn college
2What can we know about The Role of the Reader from the text
AIt was written by the readers

CIt insists that the reader completes the text
DSome great Europeans and Latin Americans wrote it together
3What is the main reason of the author loving reading
