Levi-Strauss - binary oppositions

Theorist: Claude Levi-Strauss

Theory: Binary Oppositions

What it means: A conflict between two opposing forces, e.g. good versus evil, on versus off, land versus sea

Any narrative has binary oppositions – these exist to – produce drama and sustain interest

Conflict is the engine of any successful narrative – no conflict, no story
