Deconstruction

Deconstruction Deconstructive Criticism Literary Criticism is a language of interpretation of author’s ideas. Deconstructive Criticism is the transaction between the reader and text. The ideas of a Deconstructive Criticism start with theory, how critics approach Deconstructionism and Deconstructive Criticism of Robert Frost poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. Deconstructionism “This theory believes that meaning is discovered through examining structural codes in the text. Deconstructionist believes that there is not “one” correct meaning in a poem, rather poems can be interpreted many different ways” (Deconstructionism 1). Deconstructive Critics who utilize deconstruction, as a critical method actually would say that the text deconstructs itself, and that critics do not deconstruct the text so much as show how the text challenges itself and thereby dismantles itself. In this theory: · Meaning of text is found through differences. · Language is arbitrary. · Meaning is never final! · Textual meaning is not infinite. · It is important to locate the point of contradiction. · The “point where the text breaks free” is established. · Close readings are important. · The text does not have a unified, logical whole meaning. deconstructive, woods, meaning, text, theory, critic, stopping, lines, criticism, snowy, house, story, language, evening, deconstructionism, through, poem, man, ideas, different, difference, critics, textual, one, miles, literature, line, going, whole, village, unstable, thinks, saint, robert, read, point, piece, nick, mean, itself, horse, home, go, gives, frost, deconstruction, between, before, back, approach
