Structuralism

Fristly we clear that what is structuralism?
     
      we can see that this theory was devloped in france between 1950 and 1960.it's began with the work FERDINAND DE SAUSSURE on linguistis.its is the name given to language as a system of reletionship.


There are many structralist critics like Ferdinand Sassure, Genette, Claude-levi-strauss, Roland Barthes in their work we find 1) order, 2)Frequency

3 Duration, 4) voice, 5) mood, in movies we find these five elements that help us to understand the basic structure of movie.


 every literary text has a Beginning, Middle ( Climax) and End.

Every work of art has own stucture and text.every structure particularly deals with the two thing love and death.both are interwovem with each other.we find the structure of love and death in Shakespeare "Othello."




Movie like P.K. RANGRASIA, OH MY GOD  has a same structure- anti religion or challenges this ideas.
 If we take structuralist approach then OMG IS better than PK. Structure of both is same.

For example T.V. serial  CID  helps us to understand NARRATOLOGY.  Structure is same for example murder occurs, detection and murderer found by detective. This structure is same in every episode since 20 or 21 years. But they make changes in presenting it.

Most of hindi movies  or literature are same. For example  boy+ girl love each other but family is against it or vice versa family ready to marriage but children do not like each other.We also find binary opposition every where. Good-evil, male-female, god- Satan, white-black.This and other many common things are found everywhere.




My Love is like to ice, and I to fire by Edmund spenser

My Love is like to ice, and I to fire:
How comes it then that this her cold so great
Is not dissolved through my so hot desire,
But harder grows the more I her entreat?
Or how comes it that my exceeding heat
Is not allayed by her heart-frozen cold,
But that I burn much more in boiling sweat,
And feel my flames augmented manifold?
What more miraculous thing may be told,
That fire, which all things melts, should harden ice,
And ice, which is congeal’d with senseless cold,
Should kindle fire by wonderful device?
Such is the power of love in gentle mind,
That it can alter all the course of kind. 


in this poem poet compares his love with he is like fire and his love is like ice ,that coldness of his love will melted him, with power of love.


Fire and Ice by Robert Frost 

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
In this poem the speaker brings us into the middle of an argument between people who think the world will come to a fiery end and people who think the world will freeze. He could be talking about the literal end of the world, but he's also talking about the power that human beings have to harm or "destroy" one another.This short poem outlines the familiar question about the fate of the world, wondering if it is more likely to be destroyed by fire or ice
In both poem sign use as compared with desire and hate , both have capacity of ending the world and dangerous for world .so we can say different meaning of same sign in both poem.



















thank you.
