Hermeneutics is the theory and methodology of interpretation, especially the interpretation of bibllical texts, wisdom, literature and philosophy.

Modern Hermeneutics includes both verbal and non-verbal communication as well as semiotics, presuppositions, and pre-understandings. Hermeneutics has been broadly applied in the humanities, especially in law, history and theology.

Hermeneutics was initially applied to the interpretation, or exegisis of scripture, and has been later broadened to questions of general interpretation. The terms hermeneutics and exegesis are sometimes used interchangeably. Hermeneutics is a wider discipline which includes written, verbal, and non-verbal communication. Exegesis focuses primarily upon the word and grammar of texts.

Rahaf Al Qunun is an 18 yr old girl trying to emancipate from her home country, Saudi Arabia.  She is barricading herself in a Thai hotel room and refuses to go back to Saudia Arabia.
