Levi Strauss created a theory that every aspect of a show has a binary opposite, an easy way to remember this is to use jeans, the left leg may resemble one aspect, the other leg will resemble the other aspect. Some common binary opposites are: Light/ Dark, Cold/ Warm, Hot/ Cold, Est/ West, Good/ Bad etc.
To relate this to soaps, we can look at binary opposites, as I mentioned in my previous posts, the binary opposite of Hero/ Villain. However, this theory could relate to may aspects of soaps. A transition from Rich/ Poor, Unemployed/ employed, even simple opposites such as men/ women.
