Levi Strauss - Theory

Levis Strauss devised a theory that all narratives include some kind of binary opposition. Some examples of binary opposition are good vs evil to strong vs weak to male vs female, these are just a few of many. In my film we have used 2 binary oppositions, good vs evil and male vs female. In our films case the people representing good are Katie and Chloe because of how young they are and the fact that they are the "victims", these two characters are stereotypical teenagers which suggests their innocent. The evil in our film is Owen, this is because he is the antagonist and stalking Katie during the film. The other binary opposition is fairly well shown with Katie and Chloe being the female while Owen being the male. The stereotypical view here is that Owen is more dominant than the two females and the females are weaker which could suggest the binary opposition of strong vs weak in our film.
