The story of  “ An overly woman” is one of  the nine short stories of a story with the same title, which was first published at the time of the life of Jalal Al Ahmad, a contemporary author in 1331. The focus of all the stories of this collection are the women and the author criticizes their disasters and problems. This article studies the story of “An overly woman” from this collection from the viewpoint of the Deconstruction Criticism. The Deconstruction Criticism was based on the theory of Jacques Derrida (1930- 2004), the philosopher and the French theorist. This critique was first used in philosophy and then in literary critique. The basis for the Deconstruction Criticism is finding binary and hidden oppositions in the text; because by discovering these contrasts, you can find the secret and internal layers of the text. According to Jacques Derrida, intra-textual oppositions are hierarchical and staircase, and are preferred over the other, but studding the text, it is ultimately determined that none binary oppositions are preferred over the other and they actually complement each other. The Deconstruction Criticism is based on the review of accepted defaults and deconstructing of the textual contrasts. It delves whatever the reader should know into the text itself. Conflict in the story of “An overly woman” is between man and man in terms and man / woman in particular. After studding binary oppositions in the text and identifying hostile forces, it turns out that, contrary to what it is seemed in the early reading, the top pole in the text, which has formed the internal challenge of the text is not the wicked man against the oppressed woman, but two oppositions alongside each other form the story.
