An author is like a “God” of his writing. Only him who knows exactly what he actually means in his writing. In other way, not every reader could easily get it. Especially if we are talking about any literary works. The message is not immediately clear to every reader because the language in literature contains symbols and connotative language. As we know, it allows multiple interpretations. Because of this characteristic, of course a suitable method of interpretation is needed. Hermeneutics is known as the science of interpreting the meaning of a text. More related to symbolic text which has multiple meanings. Hermeneutics is considered as a theory of the operation of understanding in relation to the interpretation of texts. Interpreting is an oral method of translation that allows for in-person, face to face or on the phone cross-lingual real-time communication.
