The paper discusses the theory that ‘language is a system of interdependent terms' which has made ‘difference' fundamental to literary criticism. Although Poststructuralists are generally agreed that language is a system of differences making meaning unstable and constantly shifting, Structuralists prefer the notion that a text can be distilled objectively into a single structure is to assume its meaning is fixed. Binary oppositions are examined and it is suggested that ‘difference' is a potent methodological device.

 

KEYWORDS: Literary criticism, literature, difference, Binary opposition, Structuralism, structuralist, poststructuralist,
