Horizons of expectation is a reader’s expectations about what will or may or should happen next,which is an important term in reader-response criticism.These horizons of expectation change frequently,for at the center of all stories is conflict or dramatic tension,often resulting in sudden loss,pain,unexpected joy or fear,and at times great fulfillment.Such changes will cause a reader to modify his horizons of expectation to fit the story’s particular situation.
