Levi-Strauss Binary Oppositions

Claude Levi-Strauss 

Levi-Strauss reflected that the constant creation of conflict/opposition propels and enriches narrative. 

Opposition can be visual (light/darkness, movement/stillness) or conceptual (love/hate, control/panic) this is known as Binary Oppositions. 

Examples of this in The Bill are Adults vs Kids,  Police vs Criminals, Law vs Rebelion, 
Mother vs Police
