That is a good point of Eagleton’s explanation of the reception theory of literature and when I read it I was also thinking about how people tend to judge the person before them rather quickly rather then going beyond the first encounter to gain a full understanding of the person before them. It reminded me of an interesting fact that I learned in my interpersonal communications class. The teacher in that class told us that the average male will take only 3 seconds to determine whether or not and to what extent they want to get ‘socially’ involved with a female they have just met. I’ll leave the word socially in parenthesis for you to interpret as you want. And the average woman takes 30 seconds.
