Abstract
The following is an attempt to view and perceive the problematic act of
interpretation, including its nature, its endless controversies, its horizons and its
limitations. The paper is comprised of two sections. The first is an introduction
covering the various aspects of the interpretive act. It also deals with the vast
potentialities opened up by interpretation. The second section shows some of the
limitations of interpretation, as seen in the different interpretations of Conrad's
Heart of Darkness and Shakespeare's Hamlet. The approach used throughout is
ambivalent in that it stresses the merits and drawbacks of interpretation in reading
and understanding texts.
