The aesthetics of reception have revealed to us the position occupied by the reader, represented by their interpretation of the literary text by filling in the gaps it contains. The identity of the text is linked to the term "horizon of expectation," coined by Jauss, which aligns with what readers expect or are disappointed by. This concept may be connected to Abu Deeb's concept of "breaking the structure of expectations."

The creator of the text disrupts the mind of the recipient through the shifts present within the text. The literary text contains symbols and codes, and the recipient's poetic quality is achieved by deconstructing them, creating a state of harmony and interaction. The recipient's interpretation of the literary text does not occur arbitrarily, but is subject to the recipient's culture and training. The reader's role is not passive; he holds the power and authority, and he is not subject to the text. Deconstruction is his authority, and he exercises his role through his interpretation of the text and filling in the gaps it contains. The poetics of the recipient excludes the idea of obtaining meaning from the literary text. The relationship between the text and the reader is represented by the formation of the absent elements, and a dialectical relationship arises between them. The first reading is exploratory and the second is retrospective. The literary text is not open to itself, but rather the responsibility for its interpretation falls on the reader, since what is conceived and its meaning imagined is what makes the role of the recipient positive.

When we look at the definition of poetics, we find that its main goal is one of the reasons for the recipient’s poetics, as Todorov defined it, which is to protect against the rust that stalks our expressions of love and hate, of revolution and reconciliation, of faith and denial. Its goal is not to formulate loose speech, because it adopts people’s concerns and problems in a creative way that the recipient can apply to his experiences in life and what he suffers, so he interprets the words and phrases in a way that is appropriate to his condition and his society.
