Levi Strauss Theory

BINARY OPPOSITIONS

Basically Levi Strauss theory is that the conflict is based around the binary opposites and that the binary opposites are the central climax of a narrative structure.

In my chosen genre I think that vulnerable vs strong would be a key opposition as it links to boy vs girl as the girl is usually the vulnerable one and the strong character is the male who dominates. This links to the ‘Final Girl’ this is when the women is signified as vulnerable but they mostly has a masculine personality and has behaviours that confronts with social expectations.
