Abstract	Although the term deconstruction existed in ordinary linguistic usage prior to the late twentieth century, it acquired its distinctive philosophical force only with Jacques Derrida’s intervention into Western metaphysics. Derrida’s concept of Deconstruction does not denote destruction or dismantling in a conventional sense; rather, it interrogates the metaphysical assumptions that govern language, meaning, and presence within the tradition of logocentric thought. Language, in this view, is not a closed system of fixed meanings but an open field in which signifiers continually defer and differ, producing meaning through what Derrida terms différance. Such an understanding of language resonates with Friedrich Nietzsche’s critique of truth as a mobile army of metaphors and his rejection of stable origins or final meanings. Nietzsche’s challenge to metaphysical permanence, particularly through his notion of “Eternal Recurrence”, reconceives time and meaning as cyclical, repetitive, and without transcendental grounding. Within this philosophical framework, textuality becomes a site of repetition, variation, and silence rather than linear progression or definitive closure, a perspective that provides a critical foundation for reading Samuel Beckett’s Come and Go as a dramatization of recurrence, difference, and the instability of meaning.
