This document discusses different narrative theories. It defines narrative as a story and lists different types of literature considered narratives. It explains Tzvetan Todorov's theory that narratives follow a three-part structure of equilibrium, disruption of equilibrium, and resolution/restored equilibrium. Vladimir Prop's narrative theory identifies 7 common character types in tales. Roland Barthes identified 5 codes that make up narrative: hermeneutic, proairetic, semantic, symbolic, and cultural. Examples of Daredevil and Jessica Jones are given that demonstrate Prop's and Todorov's theories.
