- examples= Benny's disruption, Joyce's disruption, scientist in the lift, discovery of Eleven
STRAUSS'-BINARY OPPOSITIONS
- identified that we understand the world by the relationship that two opposites have together, belived narratives arranged around conflict of binary opposites
- examples= lost v found, terrestrial v extra-terrestrial, boys v girls, old v young, justice and unjustice
