Claude Levi-Straus & Aristotle

Theories based on narratives

I decided to make a presentation about two important theorists called Claude Levi-Straus and Aristotle who both have theories that focus on the narrative. Claude Levi believes that narratives can only progress if there is a conflict between opposing forces for example good and evil. On the other hand, Aristotle simply believed that the characters and the plot are the most important feature.



By analysing both theories, I can consider Aristotle and Claude-Levi's theories when making my actual trailer in order to make them successfully for example I have to consider which characters and what plot to have to excite and keep the audience interested in my horror trailer.
