Readers in general often take narrative structures for granted, probably due to their "naturalization" of these structures or what Jonathan Culler calls their "literary competence." In writing and reading a literary text, both writer and readers bring about an "implicit knowledge" of literary discourse that is "internalized." Thus, according to Culler, readers who are not familiar with the conventions of poetry, for instance, may not be able to recognize lines of a poem as literature for the very reason that they have not "internalized" the norms of poetic discourse.
