Trust is the vital part to any relationship, in order for the relationship to work there has to be an extreme amount of trust for it is the foundation of a good relationship. The same is true for literature. The speaker has to gain the trust of the reader in order for their author-reader relationship to work. Gaining ones trust is one of the most important goals of the speaker, because without it the literature ceases to become meaningful. The reader has to be able to trust that the speaker is being truthful and that they are going to make the reading experience a meaningful and enjoyable one. Trust of the reader is slow to be gained and quickly lost when the speaker does something untrustworthy. In Timothy Findley’s “Dreams” the reader is unable to trust the speaker. Findley does not distinguish between the real world and dreams with in the poem and the reader is left to figure it out for their self. The speaker should give the reader an idea of when real life has now changed to a dream. This is sometimes confusing and it does not facilitate a very good reader/speaker relationship.
