ReplyDeleteEBI: Include a section that makes explicit reference to narrative theorists like Todorov and Levi Strauss.
Spider man goes through a problem with Dr octopus and then he rescues the city from the Dr. And this is the Todorov theory because bad overcomes good and then order is restored at the end of the film. Spider man represents good in the film and Dr octopus represents evil and they are the binary opposites. And this connotes the Levi strauss theory.
