1.What I understand by Deconstruction.
Srtucturalist Literary Criticism argues that the Novelty value of literary text can lie only in new structure, and post structuralist tries to open up that hidden meanings, so one can say that Literature is written as disguise.

Term Aporia also means that, What text says and what perhaps it wants to say.
Derrida says that same text cannot be read in the same way. He also talks about free play of meaning that only word can be used for word. It is we who have given the meanings to everything, and one meaning lead towards the different word, so he says that final meaning is always postponed.
Deconstuction means not breaking or the sake of breaking, it is not destructive activity but an inquiry into the foundations means open up the word and try to get up different meaning from same text. In other words Being skeptic , doubt and ask questions to the text or event is Deconstruction. Thus, Derrida want to transfor the way people think.
Example
Clothes is always interesting subject for humans but there is big controversy between male and female's clothes. Many taboos only for women in clothing. People consider taboo to discuss publicly. It would be weird to say that still many women neither pleased nor displeased with the way the world is headed in this male domination.
Have look at the sign and binary opposition Between eyes in burkha and eyes in gogals.What is deconstructed here is freedom of clothes in male dominated culture and thinking of women towards women about male dominated society.
Here, Eyes is centre in image, society identifies moral behaviour through it. How people will see? This is the question.
very well written and apt image taken
