Abstract
Literary texts by their nature are texts that are made up of semantic layers and hiatusesinterwoven with feelings and thoughts gained through life experiences but expressed throughfiction. After being written by the author, literary texts are static until they are read. This meansthat literary texts are literally to be reconstructed by the reader's reception and interpretation.Comparative critics as competent readers examine literary texts by comparing them with oneanother. Among the literary analysis methods used in the analysis of the texts are two theoriesthat foreground the reader most prominently. Hermeneutics and reception aesthetics make thereader advantageous in construing the layers and hiatuses in literary texts. This study aims toshow the effect of two theories on the comparative interpretation of literary texts. The methodadopted is to compare the two theories with the thoughts of experts on the interpretation ofliterary texts. The results reveal that the theories of reception and interpretation increase theefficiency of the critics in the analysis of literary texts made in the field of comparative literature.The impact of this gains even more significance in the interpretation of the post-modern art.
