1. I have compared Vladimir Propp's Seven Spheres of Action to the film Indiana
and the last crusade.
The Villian- In the film, the main villains are the Nazis, who intend to get the
Holy Grail and use it for their own evil plans of world domination and
preservance of their Nazi race.
The Donor- The donor in this film is Henry Jones Snr who gives his son ,
Henry Jones Jnr a diary which will lead him to the Holy Grail itself, through
various clues, maps and diagrams.
The Helper- In the film, there are various helpers in the form of Marcus Brody,
Sallah and Henry Jones Snr who help Indian Jones find the Holy Grail and
help him defeat the Nazis and stop them from obtaining the dairy.
The Princess- The princess in this film is Elsa who needs to be rescued from
the Nazis but could be sly, two faced and be scheming.
The Dispatcher- In this film, Henry Jones Snr is seen to be the dispatcher, as
he sends his son on a hunt to find the Holy Grail, a much treasured artifact
which needs to be maintained and kept in a museum. Henry Jones gives him
a diary which will help him find the grail and through maps, diagrams and bief
descriptions he is intended to find the holy grail.
The Hero- Indiana Jones is the main protagonist or hero in the film, as the
audience identify with him as he is the main character that is shown in the film
and tends to restore the equilibrium, at the beginning of the film. which was at
the beginning of the film
The False Hero- Intentionally, Elsa is seen to be the false hero, in that, at the
beginnign of the film, she is seen to be insightful and helpful towards Indiana
Jones in finding the Holy Grail, however, she turns out to be a two faced,
manipulative character who ends up spying for the Nazis and aiding them in
finding the grail, and just wants to have power.
