The story in a book also walks a journey from authors to readers. Perspectives between the author and the reader may also differ depending on how they perceive information.

Author’s Point-of-view
Authors are the gods in the stories they write. They are the creators of the characters that inhabit the very world that’s full of challenges. They have unlimited ways of continuing the stories.
When you were young, have you ever made a world of imagination? Most of us have this world where our imaginary friends thrive. Fiction authors tend to introduce their worlds through their stories. They give the readers characters that develop through the story as they find strength from the hurdles of life.
Reader’s Point of View
On the other side of the book, the readers could sometimes get affected by the author’s characters. These characters walk through a journey that can be relatable, affecting each reader with how they encounter and handle failures or victories. As the readers read the author’s story passage-by-passage, thoughts create images of how the story flows.
Have you ever been in a class where your teacher lets you read a passage and then asks you about the symbolism of a random object?
A teacher may ask, “So, what’s the symbolism of the red curtain in the story?”
Since people have different cognitive functions, they can have different interpretations of the objects in the story. In this scenario, some would only see the curtain as a mere curtain, while others can interpret it as a signification for royalty, blood, despair, defeat, or strength. From authors to readers, the symbolism of objects in the stories can differ in meaning based on how the object is perceived and how the story is understood.
Backstories
Authors create characters with hidden backstories that are intended for the readers to piece together as they read the story. The writers can decide which scene they can put a piece of information, which will behave like an Easter egg for readers, especially if the story involves other characters from the author’s other books.
However, fans may also create ideas about the backstories of some characters with the use of background characters. Readers are free to think how the protagonist or the villain connects to other characters. With this, they can create fan theories about a character’s background. Sometimes, the backstories can become overly dramatic just to suffice the needs of the fans to know more about the character. With this, authors would sometimes make an angle to throw a little Easter egg to provide a hint about a certain named character.
