Levi-Strauss talks about binary opposition theory, whereby its where there are two people who are very opposite to each other (eg. strong female vampire and the opposition would be a weak male human) creating conflict. This creates an ideology within a piece of media, audiences are encouraged to make a judgment about characters, groups, places etc.
