Stuart Hall's reception theory proposes that media texts can be decoded in different ways by audiences. The producer encodes a preferred meaning, but audiences may interpret it dominantly, oppositionally, or through negotiation. Dominant readings accept the intended meaning. Oppositional readings reject this in favor of personal meanings. Negotiated readings find a compromise by combining producer and personal views. How audiences decode depends on their age, beliefs, culture, gender, experiences, and mood.

Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein in 1818 at the age of 18. It is considered one of the first works of science fiction. The novel explores themes of dangerous knowledge in the pursuit of secrets of life and death. It also examines monstrosity through the creation of a monster by Victor Frankenstein who is then rejected by society due to his appearance. Isolation is another theme, as both Victor and the monster experience isolation - Victor on his journey to the North Pole and the monster after being created. The novel questions natural laws by having man interfere in nature's domain. It also comments on beauty and societal acceptance by showing the monster as a beast rejected due to his appearance.

Sem 2 paper 7 Literary Theory and Criticism
This document discusses how archetypes are represented in films through the seasons and colors. It analyzes how different seasons are associated with different genres: summer with romance, winter with irony/satire, spring with comedy, and autumn with tragedy. As an example, it examines how Toni Morrison's novel "The Bluest Eye" uses the seasons to represent stages in the story and characters' lives. It also discusses five spheres that archetypes can be classified into - human, animal, vegetation, mineral, and water. Finally, it analyzes how different colors like black, white, blue, green, and yellow can represent different archetypes or concepts in films.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WORDSWORTH AND COLERIDGE'S CONCEPT OF POETRY
This document presents the differences between Wordsworth and Coleridge's concepts of poetry. Wordsworth defined poetry as the "spontaneous overflow of powerful emotions" that are later "recollected in tranquility." His poetry focused on themes from common life, using simple language and depicting rural characters. In contrast, Coleridge felt that poetry should include supernatural incidents and agents, with elements of mystery and wonder. He saw poetry as depicting the world of fancy and thoughts, with a sense of magic and mystery. The key difference is that Wordsworth sought to give charm to everyday nature through imagination, while Coleridge aimed to make ordinary objects supernatural.
