structuralism.

Structuralism is a method or approach of interpretation and analysis that helps us to  understand the basic structure of it. If we see the skeleton of different  religious people there is no slight different in structure of skeleton. In this way if we take any literary text, movie or any literary serials or reality shows they shows reality in different way but the structure to show that is the same.

 Being  a  structuralist critic I would like to say that structuralism is a starting point for reading literature than are other approaches because fictionality does not have to be shown that inherent in the text, but in the way it is read. It explains how the sentence can different meaning depending on the genre in which it appears. But the  basic structure of the text can not change from age to age. In every text we can find beginning , middle, and the ends. No matter how the text belongs to any genre.  We may apply structuralism in literary text that are Macbeth, Frekenstein, Dr. Fastus they all quest for knowledge and power to being superior. And that quest leads them to the death.

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. Sometimes we find that events of movie were arranged chronologically . sometimes we may notice that sequence of events may change but at final we meet with certain end. And these disarrangements on the level of order are termed ‘ anachrony’. In movies we find some techniques like discovery , flashback , and resolution that three elements were imply on movie 3 Idiots. Another example of it is crime patrol that has same structure in every episodes but they do changes in representing the events.

Structralist critic also apply the concept of systematic patterning and structuring to the whole field of western culture and across culture, treating as ‘system of signs’. we can see in advertisement of Arial powder tag line that “ Daag achhe hai” in our myths ‘Daag’ point out character of women and by launching this advertisement we may find another perspective to look at ‘Daag’.
