Binary Opposition

Structuralism - Claude Levis Strauss and Roland Barthes takes Semiotics one step further 

They realised that meaning can never reside entirely within a thing in itself, but only from a complete appreciation of a thing opposite ~ called its BINARY OPPOSITE


Binary Pairs:
- Strong/Weak
- Tall/Small
- Good/Bad
- Wealthy/Poor
- Happy/Sad
- Male/Female
- Black/White
- Life/Death
