Narrative theorists
The document discusses several narrative theorists and their contributions. Vladimir Propp analyzed over 100 Russian fairy tales and identified character roles that frequently appeared, such as the villain, hero, donor, and dispatcher. Tzvetan Todorov believes most narratives follow a structure of equilibrium being disrupted by a force, then returning to equilibrium. Roland Barthes identified five narrative codes that engage the reader: action, enigma, symbolic, semic, and cultural. Claude Levi-Strauss examined how myths unconsciously reflect a culture's values through binary oppositions.
Animal Farm
George Orwell's Animal Farm is a satirical allegory about the Russian Revolution and Stalin's rise to power. It describes how the animals overthrow their human farmer and establish their own society, based on the principle that "All animals are equal." However, the pigs, led by Napoleon, gradually start to act like the humans, abusing their power and establishing a totalitarian regime. The climax comes when Napoleon kicks Snowball off the farm and declares himself the sole leader. In the end, the farm has essentially returned to its original oppressive state, with the pigs dressing and acting like humans.
