\"\"<\/a>I chose the works of Faulkner\u2019s \u201cA Rose for Emily\u201d and Poe\u2019s \u201cThe Oval Portrait\u201d to describe the theory of Structuralism.\u00a0 It is the goal of this theory in literature to discover the larger structure of the human experience by focusing on its binary opposition. \u00a0\u00a0These two stories demonstrate that a positive human experience can only come from being a male.\u00a0 As the woman is the obvious binary opposite a woman who seeks to define her life can only be met with death.<\/p>\n

The most important aspect of Structuralism I learned was that there\u2019s no relation between a word and its meaning, except what we give it which is often based on ideologies.\u00a0 Meanings are never universal.\u00a0 In terms of improving my essay to relate that particular aspect I would have interpreted Faulkner\u2019s title and analysis of the painting itself in Poe’s work including the author’s lifetime.<\/p>\n
