The main objective of this paper is to deconstruct the idea / philosophy of American
Dream through a critical examination of Edward Albee’s play The American Dream
(1961). The said text is explored through the lens of two deconstructive terms i.e.
Différance and Erasure from Jacques Derrida’s theory of Deconstruction. The purpose is
to expose in elaboration the ugliness and disintegration of American society and
Individual. It is argued that Edward Albee’s The American Dream (1961), as a
postmodern American play, divulges the deplorable condition of American society which
finds its reflection in materialism, as well as in social and moral alienation. The purpose
of applying Derridean Deconstructive terms is to analyze different aspects of language
used by Albee to highlight not only the social but also the psychological issues of
American people.
