Narrative theories
Vladimir Propp analyzed Russian folktales and identified that narratives follow a pattern of preparation, complications, transference, struggle, return, and recognition. Tzvetan Todorov claimed stories follow a pattern of equilibrium, disruption, and a return to a new equilibrium. Claude Levi-Strauss viewed myths and stories as reflecting societal traditions and beliefs through the creation of conflicts and oppositions that are ultimately resolved. Ronald Barthes described different codes that create meaning and mystery in narratives. Joseph Campbell identified that hero narratives typically follow eight stages of a call to adventure, trials, vision, meeting a goddess, receiving a boon, magic flight, return, and mastery.

Narrative theory
This document discusses narrative theory and Vladimir Propp's analysis of basic folk tale plots. [1] Propp analyzed Russian folk tales and identified character roles like the hero, villain, and donor that provide assistance. [2] He broke tales down into 31 defined functions or story events that typically occur. [3] For example, the hero receives a task from the princess' father and must overcome the villain, following a predictable sequence and role structure across many stories.
Paper-7 Literary Theory & Criticism

Character narrative theory
The document discusses three theorists - Vladimir Propp, Erving Goffman, and Claude Levi-Strauss - and their theories on character narratives. Propp noticed similarities in folk tales and argued that the order of characters and events are restrictive. Goffman identified four main character types in a text: protagonist, deuteragonist, bit player, and fool. Levi-Strauss found that narratives are arranged around the conflict of binary opposites such as good vs evil or life vs death.

The Obligation to remember - David Gramling presentation at Language and the Art of Resistance. IUG 14 April 2015.
Theorist Research
The document summarizes theories from three narrative theorists:
Robert McKee examines narrative structure and what makes a story compelling rather than just mechanical aspects like plot or dialogue.
Vladimir Propp analyzed fairy tales and identified 31 generic plot functions or elements that commonly occur in a uniform sequence. However, his claim of uniformity does not always hold and fails to consider other elements like mood.
Tzvetan Todorov suggested conventional narratives follow a 5-stage structure: equilibrium, disruption, recognition, attempt to repair, reinstatement of equilibrium, as seen in typical James Bond movies.
The Plot
The document discusses different types of plot structures in literature. It defines plot and describes pyramidal, episodic, and epiphanic plots. The pyramidal plot follows a basic structure of exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. It can be analyzed using Freytag's pyramid. Episodic plots feature distinct episodes that can stand alone, like novels by Cervantes and Twain. Epiphanic plots involve a protagonist gaining sudden insight during a struggle that leads to a climax or reversal. Plots can be told chronologically or through flashbacks and the "in medias res" technique of starting in the middle.
Vladimir propp reseach
Vladimir Propp was a Soviet scholar born in 1895 who analyzed Russian folktales and separated them into 31 basic plot functions or sequences, such as struggle between the hero and villain. He is considered important because his work in the 1950s influenced theorists like Levi-Strauss and Barthes and was used in literary and anthropological studies. Propp viewed folktales as having standardized, recurring patterns of narrative elements.
Ewrt 30 class 16
This document provides an agenda and terms for an EWRT 30 class. The agenda includes reviewing terms 1-9, which define literary elements such as drama, playwright, script, and act. It also covers a writer's workshop for a fiction project where students will share their work in groups, take turns reading aloud, and provide comments using a guide for revision. The homework is to submit Fiction Project #3 by the deadline.
Three unity of drama
The document discusses the three unities of drama according to Aristotle - unity of time, action, and place. Unity of time requires that a play's action takes place within a single day. Unity of action mandates that a play focuses on a single plot. Unity of place stipulates that a play is set within a single location. The three unities were established by Aristotle in his book "Poetics" and aim to create a sense of realism and coherence in dramatic works. Examples of plays that follow the three unities include Oedipus Rex and Macbeth.
Three Unities in Drama
This document discusses Aristotle's three unities of drama: unity of action, place, and time. It provides examples of plays that follow each unity and defines what each unity entails. The unity of action means a play should have one main plotline. Unity of place means a play should take place in one physical location. Unity of time means the action of a play should occur within a 24-hour period. The document also discusses John Dryden's view that the unities were too restrictive and prevented plays from accurately portraying human nature.
Five to revise: SBE
The document outlines five major themes - Evil Powerful Figures, Inner Conflict, Social Conflict, Nature and Weather, and War Conflict - covered by poems in the "Power and Conflict" cluster. It analyzes five poems - Remains, The Emigree, Exposure, London, and Kamikaze - in detail, identifying which themes each poem covers. The poems are also compared to other poems that touch on similar themes. Remains, for example, covers the themes of War Conflict and Inner Conflict, and could be compared to poems like Exposure, Bayonet Charge, and War Photographer that also relate to those themes.
4 my narrative research draft 1
The document discusses several narrative theorists including Tzvetan Todorov, Vladimir Propp, and Claude Levi-Strauss. It provides biographical information about each theorist and summarizes some of their major concepts. Todorov explored equilibrium, disequilibrium, and new equilibrium in narratives. Propp analyzed character archetypes and roles such as heroes, villains, helpers. Levi-Strauss studied binary oppositions and structuralism in narratives. Examples are given of how these concepts apply to film narratives.
Three unities
The document discusses the Three Unities - Unity of Time, Place, and Action - which were rules for dramatic structure derived from Aristotle's Poetics. The Unity of Time requires the action to take place within 24 hours. Unity of Place requires a single location. Unity of Action demands one main plot with few subplots contributing to the main plot. These rules were redefined in 1570 and referred to as Aristotelian rules for drama. The document provides examples and discusses opinions on the Three Unities from Dryden, Ben Jonson, and Dr. Johnson.
1 b class 20
The document announces a film screening of the 1947 movie Gentleman's Agreement, based on the novel of the same name, about a writer who pretends to be Jewish to research and write articles on anti-Semitism.

It also notes assignments for the class, including research, an essay, and studying terms.
Reading & Analysis Lecture
This document provides guidance on analyzing critical texts by outlining the key elements to examine, including the overall argument, language used, and evaluating claims. It discusses analyzing Clement Greenberg's 1952 review of Jackson Pollock by identifying Greenberg's argument, evidence presented, and persuasive language. Students are then tasked to read and analyze another writing on Pollock in small groups, considering the author's position and strengths of the argument and evidence.
Speaking like a puritan – metaphoric language from act two of the crucible
Proctor describes Elizabeth's heart as being surrounded by a funeral march. Elizabeth says the magistrate sits in her heart. Proctor says he will curse someone hotter than the oldest cinder. Hale describes theology as a fortress. Francis Nurse says his wife is the brick and mortar of the church. Proctor says vengeance is walking in Salem. The document provides metaphoric language from Act Two of The Crucible and asks the reader to determine the meanings and create their own metaphor.
Narrative & persona
This document provides an overview of key literary terms related to narratives and personas, including definitions of narrative, perspective/point of view, persona, and speaker. It then analyzes Robert Frost's poems "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" and "The Mending Wall" to illustrate these concepts, asking readers to distinguish inferences from evidence in the first poem and prompting journal questions about possible interpretations. The document uses bolded headings, lists, and formatted text to convey information about narrative poetry concepts and guide analysis of Frost's works.
Scaff Research Ppt
George Orwell, whose real name was Eric Arthur Blair, was a British novelist best known for his dystopian novels 1984 and Animal Farm. He was born in India in 1903 and worked for the Indian Civil Service before becoming a writer. Many of his works were published after his death in 1950 and criticized totalitarian governments while expressing political views through fiction.

Frankenstein
This document provides an overview of Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein. It discusses that Shelley was an English novelist born in 1797 who is most famous for her Gothic novel Frankenstein, first published anonymously in 1818. The document outlines that Frankenstein tells the story of Victor Frankenstein who creates a creature that ultimately destroys its creator. It notes some of the major characters like Victor Frankenstein and the Monster, and that the narrative structure involves stories within stories. The document poses the central dilemma of the novel being who is the real hero and who is the real monster.
Vladimir Propp
Vladimir Propp analyzed Russian folk tales in the 1920s and found they shared a common narrative structure. In his 1928 book Morphology of the Folk Tale, he identified 31 narrative functions that move the story forward, such as the villain appearing or the hero rushing to help a victim. These functions involve conflicts between main character types like heroes, villains, and donors. Though originally applied to folk tales, Propp's analysis of narrative structure has influenced storytelling across genres.
