Levi Strauss's theory (Binary Opposition)

BINARY OPPOSITION




It is the idea that sign's meaning is derived from its context and help to thicken the plot and further the narrative and introduce a contrast.
We only understand language by using a system of opposition, the most extreme. And use this Theory to;
-Analyse narratives by looking at the conflicts within.



Within the narratives, they usually have a dominant side depending upon the nature of the text. This will help us to identify the ideology of the text we are analysing.
