This commentary on Umberto Eco's Six Walks in the Narrative Woods examines the relationship established by Eco between the narrative text and the reader, as well as the relationship between fiction and reality. Eco's "model reader" is a figure created by the text and conforms to the demands of the "model author." However, beyond interpreting a text, the reader turns to a narrative fiction to make sense of the complexity of the real world. For this reason, this commentary on Eco's work seeks to highlight through textual quotations the importance of interpreting according to the particular requirements of a text and, on the other hand, seeks to highlight the great role that narrative texts play in our daily existence. It is concluded, therefore, that reading would be a practice inherent to our human life.
