Levi-Strauss' Binary Opposition
Levi-Strauss believes that all narratives are driven through conflict caused by a series of opposing events, this is known as binary opposition. He also said that to understand the word 'Villain', we have to understand the word 'Hero'. Same for 'Sane' and 'Insane'. We don't understand the meaning of words through their definitions, but through their binary oppositions.
