5. Narrative structure
Narrative Structure
Todorov’s Theory:
Todorovs theory is the idea that every film that’s
made runs the same process through its plot, of
which makes up its story line. The model for this
runs in 5 steps:
Vladimir Props character theory
he 7 board character types in the 100 tales he analysed.
1. The Villain – struggles against the hero
2. The donor – prepares the hero or gives the hero some magical object
3. The helper – helps the hero in the quest
4. the princess – person the hero marries / soughs for
5. The false hero – perceived as good character in the beginning but
emerges as the evil
6. the dispatchers – character who makes the lack known and sends the
hero off
7. The hero – the one who defeats the villain , reacts to the donor and
marries the princess.
Levi Strauss binary opposites
He realised words simply act as symbols for society's ideas
Good –evil man – woman
Black - white. East – west
Boy – girl Protagonists – Antagonists
Peace-war Strong – weak
Young – old Man - nature
