LEVI STRAUSS

Levi Strauss argues that narratives are arranged around the conflict of binary opposites. He says the way we understand certain words depends on our understanding of their opposites. For example the meaning of the word villain depends on our understanding of the opposite, hero.Within the media industry binary opposites are frequently used, especially in films.
