Abstract This article explores the intricate relationship between language, meaning, and interpretation through the lens of poststructuralist theory, with a particular focus on deconstruction. Drawing from the works of Jacques Derrida, Roland Barthes, and Michel Foucault, the study conceptualizes language as a labyrinth--an endless network of signifiers that destabilizes fixed meaning. The paper examines how poststructuralism challenges traditional hermeneutics by revealing the inherent instability of textuality and the impossibility of final interpretation. Through close readings of literary and philosophical texts, it illustrates how meaning is constantly deferred and reconstituted within systems of difference, rendering the act of reading both productive and indeterminate. Rather than seeking definitive readings, the article argues for a critical openness that acknowledges the text's multiplicity and the reader's active role in constructing meaning. Ultimately, the paper emphasizes that the limits of interpretation are not constraints but invitations to rethink authority, authorship, and the politics of meaning in contemporary theory.
