Claude Levi Strauss Theory

Claude Levi Strauss (1958)

Claude ideas about narrative amount to the fact that he believed all stories operate clear binary oppositions.

Binary opposition is a pair of related terms that are opposite in meaning. he suggested that the narratives (that the way events are put together to be shown to an audience) had to be driven by conflict from contrasting forces and that they're the oretical opposites and set off against one another.

Examples:

  • Good VS Evil
  • Black VS White
  • Rich VS Poor
The importance of these ideas is that essentially a complicated world.
