There is one particular series (though the author never intended it to be a series or trilogy) that I consider as surpassing all other books within that genre (though this is my opinion)- The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. There are many genres of literature but none is more fascinating to me than the genre of fantasy novel a genre which has become more and more popular since the advent of the 20 th century. Structuralism also deals with language in regards to signs, signifiers, etc.
It treats the study of one of those items in one work of literature as a model for that specific genre.
Since it deals with concrete ideas such as plots, characters, imagery, etc, structuralism deals with a work of literature in a broad manner, not as an individual work.
Structuralism is a mode of literary criticism that seeks to investigate patterns and structures if you will within texts of a specific genre of literature, not to deduce meaning from literature.
