Levi Strauss - Notion of binary oppositions as a useful way to consider the production of meanings within narratives.
Examples of binary oppositions -
- Good vs evil
- Rich vs poor
- Hero vs Villan
In the t.v series dexter the binary opposition of the main character would be most of the world as he is a psychopath and the norm of the world aren't so, opposes the character we see.
The starting to dexter also puts across the hermeneutic code, and poses lots of questions to the audience. As he looks aggressive and appears to be doing something wrong. The semantic code builds up suspense and the music makes you believe more there is something suspicious about the character.
