His " open " the works of this theoretical proposition not only criticized the traditional text theory, attached to the views of the author, but also reflect the since twentieth Century formalism criticism focuses on text, reader response criticism and deconstruction criticism focuses on readers of these extreme one-sided phenomenon, emphasize the interpretation process must take the text as the basis, to achieve dynamic balance between the author, the text and the reader, the three elements, to give an objective and efficient interpretation of literary works. The late Eco dissatisfaction in the context of post-modernism interpretation of the text extreme behavior, put forward " against overinterpretation", advocated that the author, text, reader world, combine study interpretation activities, at the same time give the reader the interpretation rights emphasizes the textual intention interpretation scale, trying to explain activities into the legal scope, maintain among the author, the text and the reader, balance." The name of the rose " and " Foucault’s Pendulum" is the writer Eco’s two most famous novels." The name of the rose " tells the story of a mysterious story happened in Italy medieval abbey.
