How would you write a readers response theory essay on "The Murders in the Rue Morgue"?

Reader-response theory says that meaning comes not just from the literal words on the page, but from the meaning that a reader constructs in his or her head based on individual experience and knowledge.
This meaning will differ based on the reader's social location, which includes age, gender, social class, ethnicity, nationality, and place in history. Therefore, when you look at Poe's detective story using this interpretive lens, you examine how your social location influences your understanding of the tale. For example, a twenty-first century reader is not going to understand the story the way someone would who read it the year it first appeared. Our cultures have changed. What elements of the story seem odd to you? Does Poe mention items you have never heard of? Do you detect racism or sexism in the story in a way an earlier reader might not have? When Poe was writing, detectives stories were relatively uncommon, but today they are everywhere. How might your own knowledge of the detective genre influence how you read the story? How does your age or ethnicity help you relate to the story or make it difficult for you to relate to it?
As with all interpretation, you want to support your ideas with specific examples from the text.
