Instances of the recipients and of the reading

The paper clarifies typology of the implicit reader and the imaginary reader at the present stage of the development of narratology. It is proved that the typology can only be built as process typology, in which the reader builds his or her own way of self-imagination, interacts with the author’s imaginative person and creates his or her own models and strategies of comprehensive reading. Therefore, the role of reader couldn’t be reduced to recognition or implementation of the author’s intentions. It is necessary to observe all the stages of building the reader’s own subjectivity and re-reading of this subjectivity in the literary text as novel. This typology allows constructing a typology of narrator as complex user of different imaginary speeches and narratives and of fiction of his or her own image. The author appropriates not only speech, but also the reader’s experience, while the reader appropriates not only the emotional experience, but also a reflective experience, expressed in the novel narrative composition.
