Claude Levi-Strauss - Binary Oppositions

Levi-Stauss' theory commented on the narrative of music videos and films and states that all stories are operated to certain clear binary oppositions.

Examples of these are:

• good vs evil
• black vs white
• heroes vs villains
• men vs women
• light vs dark
• young vs old

Essentially a complicated world is reduced to a simple eithe/or structure. Things are either right or wrong, good or bad. There is no in between.
