structuralist = gestalist?

        At first, I was a little skeptical about the structuralism theory, thinking there would possibly be a brain explosion of some kind. There was. However, the exercises that Dr. Sandona prepared were very helpful. I especially found Vladimir Propp’s “Morphology of the Folktale” interesting.
       From a structuralist’s point of view, if we only look a one of the five codes, we won’t fully understand the context of what we are reading. For example, there was so much more to the passage between Emily and the druggist than first thought. There were three different codes in one simple phrase.
      A structuralist is like a gestalist. For “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts” applies to this theory.
