Levi-Strauss Binary Opposition Theory



He believed that the way we understand words depends not on the meaning however by understanding the different of the word and the opposite. which is why the theory is called Binary Opposition. As the opposite of the word is holding a meaning. 

Such as a protagonist or Antagonist, Devil and angel. These are examples of binary opposites. 

Good and evil is the most common binary opposites shown in the media through films. They are used in films to help plots and also used in songs to as part of narrative to reinforce song lyrics. With deeper meanings and advanced technology now it is harder to spot the binary opposites.
