The category of informativity in literary texts plays a crucial role in shaping the reader's understanding of the underlying message and meaning. This paper explores the levels of informativity in literary works, focusing on three main types of information: conceptual, sub-textual, and content-conceptual. By analyzing how these forms of information are constructed and communicated, we aim to clarify their impact on literary interpretation and their contribution to the depth of a text.
