Strauss - Binary Opposition

Strauss: Binary Opposition

  • Strauss identified that we understand the world by the relationship that two opposites have together. For example, we understand bad behavior by knowing what good behavior should be.  
  • He believed that narratives are arranged around the conflict of binary opposition. 
  • Some of these opposition could include: 
  1. man vs woman 
  2. good vs bad
  3. day vs night 
  4. old vs new
  5. rights vs wrong
