Abstract
This study aims to apply deconstruction theory, drawing from Jacques Derrida and Peter Barry's concepts, to analyze Mohsin Hamid's novel, The Reluctant Fundamentalist. The objective is to deepen comprehension of the novel's complexities by identifying paradoxes, contradictions, and ambiguous language. Through qualitative methods and purposeful sampling, data is collected from the novel, Of Grammatology by Derrida, and Beginning Theory by Barry. The analysis illuminates the internal conflicts of the protagonist, Changez, and his evolving relationship with post-9/11 America. It underscores the fragmented nature of meaning and emphasizes the role of readers in interpretation. Themes of identity, culture, and global events are explored, challenging readers to critically engage with the text. The study recommends continued critical analysis to unravel the inherent unreliability and dynamic nature of language, recognizing the multiplicity of interpretations within the text.
