Deconstruction is a way of analyzing texts, like books or movies, that looks for hidden assumptions and contradictions. It examines how language creates meaning and reveals that meanings are often unstable and multiple. Deconstruction explores how seemingly straightforward ideas can have underlying tensions. For example, a story about good versus evil might also suggest that good and evil are not always clearly separate. It does not aim to find a single “correct” interpretation. Instead, deconstruction highlights the complexity of meaning and how different readings are possible. It shows how texts can unintentionally undermine their own apparent messages.
