Structuralism and Literary Criticism

Structuralism and Literary Criticism

As a part of our study, we learn STRUCTURALISM and how structuralist do their criticism. 

     Almost all literary theorists since Aristotle have emphasized the importance of structure. ''Structuralist criticism" now designated the practice of critics who analyze literature on the explicite model of structuralist linguistics. This mode of criticism is a part of a large movement, French Structuralism in the 1950s by the cultural anthripologist Claude Levi-Strauss, who analyzed, on Saussure's liguistic model. 

     Saussure has said about linguistic structure in which he has emphasized on three terms: 

1. Parole: Which is individual utterence, a word. Every person uses different words as per their birth place for the word "Water" 

2. Langue: Which is perticular meaning of a perticular word. 

3. Language: So many Langue combinely made a Language. A meaningful way of communication. 

     As a structuralist on should identify these three things first. Here I am trying to analyze on movie.
