Provide an example of Levi Strauss' Binary Opposition in a film of your choice. You need to explain what BO is (not what you're thinking) and how they exist in the film you select.
A binary opposite is the understanding of difference between character types; a person would not understand good without experiencing evil. I have chosen to look at THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING. There are many mystical binary opposites within the movie including; - Good vs. Evil - The fellowship vs. the orcs - Dwarves vs. Elves - wisdom vs. naivety - purity vs. corruption - light vs. dark
binary opposites are often used in films to emphisise the contrast within the film. the film i have chosen to look at is The Woman in Black. the binary opposites are... light vs dark life vs death purity vs corruption love vs anger knowledge vs ignorance child vs adult
