Question

The "audience" of a piece of literature


may be impossible to determine

may be a specific group of readers, such as young women

may be a consideration a writer chooses to eliminate

may be more important than the theme or tone

Answer 1

I won't feed you this answer. But here's a helpful hint.
The audience of a speaker is often deterred by the piece's intended meaning.
By that I mean, the message in a piece of literature can target a group of people which revolve around the book's various themes.
