". . .we most easily understand what something is; by understanding what it's not"
With that line in place, a whole lot more need not be said. Structuralism is basically the analysis of human culture from a semiotic perspective. It's a definition and classification of human characteristics and behavioral patterns with cultural acceptability in mind. Contexts and syntaxes are also key to properly understanding structuralism.
A list of human virtues and attributes was drawn up, after which a table was made and structure was defined. By word of mouth; it was deducible that despite the fact that people clearly understood the characteristic extremes of human behavior they would rather be grouped at an absolute middle between either of them. An uncanny love for the gray areas. A desire for balance.
". . .there is no such thing as absolute good, neither is there any such thing as absolute evil. Gray areas are man's best friends!"
