Media site tvtropes.org has put together an interesting wiki on the various ways audiences react to content matter (ie. art, film, music, television, etc). These archetypes attempt to capture different stages of interpretation that can be found across any genre. If you engage in any type of online discussion forum, you may find it of interest:
Audience Reaction Index
"Audience Reactions are opinions. Some of them may be very prevalent opinions, or may have inspired an author to play or avert a trope or may even be what a work is most known for, but in the end they are still just opinions. We put a name on them and categorize them because they're a point of interest to both fans and writers, but they should not be confused with tropes. They are highly subjective, argument-causing and aren't a building block of storytelling the way tropes are."
