Claude Levi-Strauss

1908-2009
All narratives could be reduced down to binary opposites.e.g. weak v strong, good v evil, etc.
He studied myths and fairy tales and from that he found that we make sense of the world, people and events by seeing and using binary opposites. He found that narratives are arranged around the conflict of binary opposites.
