Claude Levi Strauss


Claude Levi Strauss examined how stories and myths unconsciously reflect the values and beliefs of a culture. These are usually expressed in the form of binary opposition. A binary opposition is two things that are completely dissimilar. This could be a opposition between:
-Black vs White (race)
-Old vs Young 
-Wealth vs Poor
