Narrative Theory
Levi Strauss argued that all narratives could be reduced down to binary opposites. Binary opposition (also binary system) is a pair of related terms or concepts that are opposite in meaning.
Examples:
- Americans Vs Native Americans
- Good Vs Evil
- Science Vs Religion
- Weak Vs Strong
- East Vs West
- Man Vs Women
He observed that all narratives are organised around the conflict between such binary opposites.
