Abstract
This paper aims to focus and analyze Edward Albee’s American Dream by applying Derridean Deconstructive Term Aporia. American Dream has been a source of inspiration for American People as it promised equality, liberty and the pursuit of happiness thereby leading them towards prosperity, contentment and self awareness. Regrettably, in twentieth century, the concept of this dream has been reduced to destabilization, confusion, and chaos. Celebration of American Dream has been turned into bewilderment and approach towards this dream has been changed. Spirit of self awareness and self realization has a decaying condition. In this paper, with the help of Derridean Term Aporia, deterioration, disorder, chaos and disorientation in American Dream will be analyzed and explored. Keeping in view the different facets of American Dream, three Aporias have been discussed in this paper. First Aporia deals with justice while second Aporia focuses on undecidability and the third Aporia focuses on human knowledge and its limitations. Edward Albee’s the American Dream has been discussed while keeping in view these three Aporias to reveal the controversy within American Dream developed by its own harbingers and its lasting effects on post modern and post war American Society.
