Points • Teenage Girl Working On Her On Her Laptop In
The House Alone, When An Envelope is sent

10. Levi-Strauss looked at narrative
structure in terms of binary
oppositions. Binary oppositions are
sets of opposite values which reveal
the structure of media texts. An
example would be GOOD and EVIL –
we understand the concept of GOOD
as being the opposite of EVIL. Levi –
Strauss was not so interested in
looking at the order in which events
were arranged in the plot. He looked
instead for deeper arrangements of
themes. For example, if we look at
Science Fiction films we can identify
a series of binary oppositions.

11. • Immortality is the ability to live • Mortality is the condition of being
forever. mortal, or susceptible to death;
the opposite of immortality.
We show the binary opposition through the characters in the film.
The Main Character Being Human (Mortal) And the doll in which
has a supernatural sprit in it (immortal).
The struggle shows that when something is immortal it is tougher to
either control or win against.
