Abstract
The present study means to investigate Hamlet in the light of
postmodernist-Deconstructive theoretical framework. The play seems
to reinforce the overarching dominant patriarchal meta-narrative, with supposed unitary
voice and unified identities. The current reading means to show that the play is a
metaphor of postmodernism with pluralistic subjectivities, multiple alternative micronarrative voices. It manifests the postmodernist notion of subjective, personal and local
truth, against the idea of universal truth and reality. Its major features are self-difference,
undecidability, and uncertainty. The regimes of truth in
the form of dominant ideology are challenged,
deconstructed and undermined, creating a zone of the
postmodern condition of reality and truth as the effect of
power and rhetoric. The postmodern condition does not
push for the replacement of one totality with another. It
creates a third space of pluralism, where all the voices
are disjoined in a zone of the difference without
hierarchy.
