Structuralism and Literary Criticism

                    Structuralism is generally defined as the perspective of evaluating of individual human minds .this idea   we apply on any literary text movie and serial, so we can say that it is a one type of critical view point of our interpretations towards any particular work. As we know all that entire meaning of the text is always should be in the context itself instead of words and in a real sense this is called criticism.


              Structuralist critics like, Gerard Genette, Ferdinand Saussure, Roland Barthers, Claude Lavi-Strauss contributed the field of structuralism through their ideas very well. According to them there is always similarity one can find in the construction method of any literary art keeping in mind the approach of structuralism if we can see that many of our Bollywood movies and some serials have such pattern. There are mostly three divisions in which entire content take place, has also the use of varieties in presenting the content in that order its equally notable here.

               If we take example of   movies then again we find out the same theories . As we can see that having the idea of Love or Death it happen in different way and presenting time by time . We can see many of Hindi movies. Sometimes   Ultimately there will be always contrast from both sides through it has the same concepts to present.

            Movies: Nadiya ke paar  is in contrast to Hum aap ke hai kaun and also same theories of movie Hum aapke hai kaun contrast in which some common change but concept and theme framed in same structure love family and sacrifice .

And also in the movie VIVAAH also same concept pure family drama and framed and theme are same but director made some minor change and remake movies from earlier structure
One more example I would like to present from movie  some hindi movies such as ;

            RAM LEEL ..QAYAMAT SE QAYAMAT TAK ..EK DUJE KE LIYE all movies central theme comes from Shakespeare’s play  ROMEO AND JULIET  in all movie lover are dies because they family animity and also all are STARCROSS lover in 20 century represented this concept and same theories by this two movies,
QAYAMAT SE QAYAMAT TAK  and  EK DU JE KE LIYE AND again in 21 century this type of typical theme see in the movie RAM LEELA ,and also it became more popular tragic love story and struggle for love and revenge in this we can see our entire world of literature and entertainment coming out with the same structure in both way Girl and boy fall in love. they arranged marriage the justification is that the second story ‘s structure is an “INVERSION “ of the first story ‘ s structure; the relationship between the values of love and the two pairs of parties involved have been reversed .
Also some movies there is only same theme based on TERRORISM and KASHMIR ,JEHAAD and corruption we can’t any huge different but some events different such as ;ZAMEEN ,INSAN,MAA TUJE SALAAM ,ROZA ,HOLIDAY ,BABY ,GABBAR ,KAHAKEE ,INDIAN ,

                    Same theme if in India Director who want to make movie upon country love it mostly theme revolves around TERRORISM and Corruptions it is same structure and also in cotemporaries many movies are  based on same theme and structure but some common changes are made up by director in movie HINDUSTANI and GABBAR have same structure about corrupt system.
Now I would like to throws some light on structure of serial such as same narration based on ‘SAAS BAHU’ kind of typical and single handed plot developed .in JAMAI RAJA , KYUNKI SAANS BHI KABHI BAHU THI.etc.

            In Advertisement that it  promoted any cosmetic product same structure
Such as; ‘Fair and lovely’ soap like;lux always coming with girl’s beuty same structure and they only give template in matter of beauty this way it lies and cheated people by same structure and concept.

In short above interpretation is based on my view and personal thinking and understanding ,exception might be there.
