This paper unfolds male stereotypical authoritative nature under the lens of reader response theory by Rosenblatt i.e. reader and text in The Bull and She Devil. This paper argues that a text has different meanings to different readers. Therefore, the theme of jealousy and anger is due to male authoritative nature and feelings of comparison in the selected short story. Based on the idea of transaction among the reader, text, author and social context by Rosenblatt, this paper highlights that the husband is a merciless creature toward his wife, relatives and the bull. As anger is due to male stereotypical authoritative nature, it causes jealousy and the end of his life. Ironically, he blames the destructive influence of his wife instead blaming his own negative approach.
