Here is my Response to the given task Click Here
Structuralism and literary criticism this essay is given by Gerard Genette , who was French literary theorist. Structuralism : It is the offshoot of certain developments in linguistics and anthropology.
According to Saussure the sing us constituted by the "signifiet " and " signified " signifier us the " Word" or the alphabets which are arranged in a particular order while the signified is the concept that the signifier stand for .
Here we find Gerard Genette narratology includes many sub parts like :
1)Order
2)Duration
3) Voice
4) Mood
5) Frequency
Example every literary text has a beginning middle and end. And same goes with the movie, serial also
Movie like OMG, P.k has a same structure-anti religion or challenges this idea.
If we take structure approach then OMG is better than P.K structure of both is same.
For example T.V serial like CID, crime petrol, and savdhan India helps us to understand narratology.
