LEVI STRAUSS

2. 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.
