Deconstruction is pioneered by the French philosopher and theoretician Jacques Derrida. It is mainly based on his idea of `Differance` which stands for the instability or elusiveness of meaning. It may be considered as a revolution against previous literary theories of structuralism and new criticism in the sense of criticizing the existence of `a centre` in the text. In fact, what is at stake as far as deconstruction is concerned is the existence of meaning gaps or `aporia` in the text. Hence, the role of the reader, namely the deconstucter is to find out these gaps and use them as tools to deconstruct or `subvert from within` the very claim the text attempts to affirm. Consequently, a deconstructive reading is based on the following steps: 1-close reading of the text (find thesis statement) 2-find out and identify the gaps of the text (aporia/ binary oppositions like white is better than black/ prejudices, stereotypes/ slips of tongue.
