Abstract

People often enjoy literature before they understand it. Because certain words or phrases may appeal to them or they may get a general impression of the meaning of a piece of literature and like it. But a trained reader reads a piece of literature most carefully before he understands enough to enjoy it. If he is simply bewildered by a piece of literature, he cannot enjoy it. On this basic level, therefore, enjoyment is closely related to understanding.
