The document summarizes several narrative and character theories:
1) Tzvetan Todorov identifies 5 stages in typical narratives: equilibrium, disruption, recognition, repair, and restoration.
2) Vladimir Propp identified common character types that appear in stories, including the hero, helper, villain, false hero, donor, dispatcher, princess, and princess' father.
3) Levi Strauss believed concepts are understood through their opposites, or "binary oppositions," like hero/villain and good/evil.
Vladimir Propp identified common character types and narrative functions in Russian folk tales. According to Propp's theory, characters fall into roles like the hero, who embarks on a quest and rescues the oppressed, the villain who opposes the hero, and the donor or dispatcher who provides assistance to the hero. Propp analyzed how these character types drive the narrative structure through their actions.
Vladimir Propp identifies 7 common character types that typically appear in stories: 1) The Hero is the main character who is usually good; 2) The Helper aids and supports the Hero; 3) The Villain disrupts the story and is usually bad; 4) The False Hero pretends to help the Hero; 5) The Donor provides something to help the Hero solve the problem; 6) The Dispatcher sends the Hero on their quest; 7) The Princess and Princess' Father are often related to the reward or goal for the Hero.
The document discusses two character theories - Propp's theory and Goffman's theory. Propp's theory suggests there are 7 character types in narratives, including villain, hero, helper, etc. It also describes typical struggle and recognition scenes. Goffman's theory proposes 4 main character types - protagonist, deuterogonist, bit player, and fool. The document provides examples applying both theories to the films The Hunger Games and 21 Jump Street.
The document discusses different narrative theories. It explains Todorov's five stages of narrative as equilibrium, disruption, recognition, repair, and restoration. It then describes the common character archetypes in stories according to Vladimir Propp, including the hero, helper, villain, false hero, donor, dispatcher, princess, and princess' father. Finally, it discusses Levi Strauss' concept of binary opposites, where we understand concepts through their opposites, such as hero and villain or good and evil.
Erving Goffman and Vladimir Propp developed theories about common character types that appear in narratives. Goffman identified four main character types: the protagonist, deuteragonist, bit player, and fool. Propp said stories typically include a hero, villain, dispatcher, donor, helper(s), false hero, and princess/heroine. Tzvetan Todorov and Claude Levi-Strauss developed structural theories of narrative. Todorov described a typical narrative structure as involving an initial equilibrium, a disruption, recognition of the disruption, an attempt to repair the damage, and a new equilibrium. Levi-Strauss said all narratives can be reduced to binary opposites such as good vs evil
There are four types of characterization: physical description, speech and actions, direct narrator comment, and other characters' speech and actions. There are also four types of characters: round characters who are complex and develop, dynamic characters who change over the story, flat characters described by one or two traits, and static characters who don't change. Major characters are usually round or three-dimensional, changing as a result of events, while minor characters are often flat or two-dimensional, lacking depth or balance. The protagonist is the main character, the antagonist opposes the protagonist, and a foil provides a contrast to the protagonist.
This document discusses different types of characters that commonly appear in literature. It defines major/central characters as vital to the plot and resolution, and minor characters as helping to move the plot forward. It also defines dynamic characters as those who change over time due to resolving conflicts, static characters as those who do not change, round characters as complex with contradictory traits, and flat characters as defined by a single trait. Stock characters are conventional stereotypes, while protagonists are the central characters faced with conflicts, and antagonists are those opposing the protagonists. Anti-heroes are protagonists who lack nobility, and foils are characters who contrast with others.

Vladimir Propp believed that certain essential character types exist in all stories. These include the Hero, who is the main character seeking to succeed; the Villain, who creates disruption and is usually bad; and the False Hero, who pretends to support the Hero but may actually be the Villain. Propp also identified character types like the Dispatcher who sends the Hero on a mission, the Helper who aids the Hero, and the Princess or reward that the Hero and False Hero may compete for.
Vladimir Propp analyzed 400 Russian folk tales and identified character roles and narrative functions that recurred across the stories. He identified 8 character roles - hero, villain, donor, dispatcher, false hero, helper, princess, and the princess's father. He also identified 31 narrative functions that described the sequence of events in the tales, such as the hero leaving home, receiving a difficult task, accomplishing the task, and being rewarded. The Dark Knight Rises characters can be mapped to Propp's roles, with Batman as the hero, Bane as the villain, Lucius Fox as the donor, Commissioner Gordon as the dispatcher, Miranda Tate as the false hero, Selina Kyle and Alfred as helpers, and Sel
The document defines and provides examples of various literary terms including:
- Allusion - a reference to a person, place or event

Vladimir Propp was a scholar who proposed that narratives follow a structure involving 8 character types: the hero, villain, donor, dispatcher, false hero, helper, princess, and the princess's father. Propp suggested all stories contain a struggle where the hero is harmed but ultimately overcomes the villain, restoring order. He also noted stories typically include a recognition scene where the hero is recognized, false characters are exposed, false heroes may be punished, and the hero receives their reward. Propp's theory has influenced many successful film narratives by providing a template for key characters and plot points.
The document discusses different types of characters commonly found in literature, including round, flat, dynamic, and static characters as well as stereotypes. Round characters have multiple traits and can change over time, while flat characters reveal only one or two traits and do not develop. Dynamic characters change and develop, whereas static characters remain the same. Stereotypical characters are generalized types that readers are familiar with from other stories. The document provides examples of characters and asks the reader to identify their type.
This presentation discusses the elements of the short story with the 5 elements of the plot. The Legend of Maria Makiling was used in the application of the elements of the short story.
Vladimir Propp identified 7 character archetypes that commonly appear in folktales:
1. The hero who responds to challenges from the villain and receives help from the donor and magical helper.
2. The villain who struggles against the hero.
3. The donor who prepares or gives objects to the hero.
4. The magical helper who aids the hero.
5. The princess who the hero marries.
6. The false hero who is perceived as good but emerges as evil.
7. The dispatcher who makes the problem known and sends the hero off.
This document defines different types of characters that can appear in stories. The main character is called the protagonist, while the antagonist stands in opposition to the protagonist. Round characters are fully developed with many traits, while flat characters lack development and traits. A dynamic character changes over the course of the story, whereas a static character remains the same. For example, in Shrek, Shrek is the protagonist and Lord Farquaad is the antagonist. Shrek is also a dynamic and round character as he becomes softer and more well-rounded over the course of the film.
This document discusses Vladimir Propp's character theory and its application to analyzing characters in films. Propp identified 7 broad character types that commonly appear in stories: the villain, donor, helper, princess, false hero, dispatcher, and hero/seeker. As an example, the characters in the film Thor are identified and categorized according to Propp's theory. The document also lists some other common character roles and asks readers to identify examples of these roles from films.
The document discusses different types of conflict that can occur in stories, including external and internal conflict. External conflict involves a character struggling against an outside force, such as another character, nature, or society. Internal conflict occurs within a character's mind as they struggle between opposing thoughts, feelings, or choices. Some examples of different conflicts are provided, such as character vs. character, character vs. nature, and character vs. self.

It also covers direct and indirect characterization and different types of characters such as protagonists, antagonists, round characters, flat characters, dynamic characters, and static characters. The overall focus is on analyzing characters using these various methods and techniques.
Typical characters presented in a horror film. Majority of examples from Eden Lake as it is a good horror film that presents stereotypes of gender within it's narrative.
The document summarizes several influential narrative theories:
- Tzodorov's theory of narrative equilibrium which describes 5 stages from an initial stable state to restoration of a new equilibrium.
- Pam Cook's description of standard Hollywood narrative structure as linear, providing closure, and containing spatial/temporal coherence.
- Kate Domaille's identification of 8 common narrative types including Achilles, Cinderella, Circe, and Romeo and Juliet.

Vladimir Propp was a literary critic who identified common character archetypes that frequently appear in narratives. He proposed that stories generally involve 8 character types performing specific roles: the hero, villain, dispatcher, donor, helper, false hero, princess, and struggle scene. Propp's theory influenced many filmmakers by providing a structure for crafting successful storylines.
This document discusses characterization in fiction writing. It contrasts direct characterization, where the author directly states a character's traits, with indirect characterization, where a character's personality is inferred from their speech, thoughts, actions, effects on others, and appearance. Five methods of indirect characterization - speech, thoughts, effect on others, actions, and looks - are outlined. Key terms related to character analysis are also defined, such as protagonist, antagonist, flat/round/dynamic/static characters, stereotypes, and inference of traits.
Propp's theory identifies 7 types of characters in narratives: the Hero, Villain, Donor, Helper, Princess, Dispatcher, and False Hero. Each character has their own "sphere of action" and life that may or may not intersect with other characters. Stereotypically, the Hero is male but can be female, the Villain is enigmatic, the Princess is the victim the Hero tries to save, and the Dispatcher may have bad intentions in horror films. The document then provides descriptions for potential characters in a narrative: Rosie Black, the Bully, the Mother, and the Dad.
The document describes several common stock characters that are often seen in horror movies:
1) The Wanderer is the character who explores alone and gets killed due to their isolation from the group.
2) The Jock is arrogant, vain, and popular but not very bright. They are often the first non-main characters killed.
3) The Popular Girl is beautiful and well-liked but can also be mean. She is typically dating the Jock.
4) Pandora or the "Dark Horse" seems innocent but is revealed to be the killer in a plot twist.
5) The Final Girl is the main character who outsmarts the killer and survives to the end
Thriller films often rely on stereotypical characters to build suspense and appeal to audiences. Female characters are typically young, blonde, attractive and portrayed as vulnerable victims in need of saving. The hero is usually a strong, masculine male protagonist who acts as the brave confidant trying to defeat the villain. Villains come in various inhuman forms designed to instill fear and keep audiences on edge, such as masked serial killers or supernatural entities with an inhuman ability to withstand injury. These stereotypes are frequently used to conform to genre conventions and drive the suspenseful narrative.
This document discusses representations in spy thriller films and genres. It provides examples of common character types seen in spy thrillers, such as protagonists, antagonists, damsels in distress, criminals, and assassins. It also examines stereotypes associated with certain characters, such as protagonists and antagonists typically being portrayed by white male actors. Additionally, the document outlines Carol J. Clover's "Final Girl" theory regarding the lone female character confronting the villain in horror films.
Thrillers aim to keep audiences alert and on the edge of their seats through suspense and anticipation. They usually involve a protagonist facing a problem or dilemma, such as a spy, soldier, or detective, that they must try to solve or overcome. Common thriller elements include fast pacing, frequent action, an antagonist opposing the protagonist, and cliffhangers that build suspense and tension. Cinematography techniques like close-ups, low angles, and cross-cutting are used to create suspense.

Vladimir Propp analyzed folk tales and identified 8 main character types that help move the narrative forward. These include the hero, villain, donor, dispatcher, false hero, helper, princess/prize, and her father. Propp argued we should view characters by their narrative function rather than as real people. The document then discusses how some of these character types, such as the hero, villain, donor, and helper, apply to the horror genre and film The Conjuring specifically.
The document discusses characterization in fiction works. It defines major and minor characters and describes how characters can be individual, dynamic/developing, or static. Characters are also defined as round or flat. Round characters are complex and multi-faceted, often changing through the story, while flat characters have only one or few traits. The document also discusses direct and indirect characterization techniques used by authors to present characters through description, actions, speech, thoughts and how others perceive them.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
