This document provides a narrative analysis of the Simple Plan song "Your Love is a Lie" through the lens of several literary and film theories. It analyzes shots in the music video that relate to Propp's theory of the hero and princess and Levi Strauss' theory of binary opposites. The video depicts the difference between love and hate through shots of the singer with the girl's photo but also angrily singing about her lie. Barthes' theory is also briefly discussed, noting how the varying scenes and editing suggest a problem that engages the audience.

3. This shot relates to a theory from Levi Strauss of
binary opposites. The action of the hug in this shot
makes us think that it is a good image but this is
contradicted by the facial expression of the girl that
suggests that she is a “bad” character and is
perhaps feeling guilty that she has cheated.
