Deconstruction: Binary Opposition in the Great Gatsby

Abstract

Deconstruction, groundings such as the metaphysical thought and how they, the theories, explicate natural phenomenon and then move on to see how Deconstruction explicates human experience and the metaphysics of presence and “the future of the manifest presence” (Derrida. 1981). The main purpose of this study, however, is to show how texts are analyzed using Binary Opposition which makes use of contradicted terms in a literary text the Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald to reveal the ideology and criticize them to break the hierarchy or privilege in this text. Deconstruction shows how one term is superior to the other and shows how this classification is spurious. The study concludes that it shows adequacy inasmuch as ideological investigation is concerned. It also arrives at final that Binary Opposition is a workable tool for critical thinking as it leaves out no blind spots in the text in hand, however, that does not do in all cases. Finally, Binary Opposition of Deconstruction does not have a paradigm specific to show where to oppose, is also a final finding
