complete contrasts in order to construct a narrative within a text. the use of binary opposition within visual codes is usually when introduces 2 new characters or groups.
Binary oppositions in Romeo and Juliet :
- bright coloured clothing and cars
- act cowardly and nervous at times
- want "peace"
- dress casual
- white american
- portrayed as the "poor"
- act reckless and are often loud
- dark coloured clothing/ dress smart in suits
- have a 'cowboy' look
- latin america
- act civil but don't like 'peace'
- act brave and strong
- often aggressive and are portrayed as 'rich'
binary opposition is mainly shown through differences in gender.
