Vladimir Propp argued that every story contains 7 character archetypes - the princess needing rescue, the hero who saves her, the villain causing problems, a false hero, a helper, a dispatcher sending people on quests, and a donor providing assistance. Tzvetan Todorov's narrative theory outlines 5 stages in every story - equilibrium at the start, a disruption happening, recognizing the disruption, attempting to repair it, and achieving a new equilibrium. The Vampire Diaries and Tinkerbell are examples that follow Todorov's 5 stage structure.

Narrative
Propp analyzed fairytales and identified common character types including the villain, dispatcher, donor, hero/heroine, and princess. Todorov proposed narratives follow a structure of equilibrium, disruption, recognition, attempts to repair, and restored equilibrium. Both theories are exemplified in the Harry Potter and Jurassic World films - Harry Potter includes the expected character types like Voldemort and Dumbledore, while Jurassic World progresses through the narrative stages from a smoothly running park to disruption by the Indominous Rex and restoration of order.
Narrative theories
Vladimir Propp analyzed Russian folktales and identified common narrative elements, concluding that characters can be classified into 7 broad types. Tzvetan Todorov proposed that all storylines follow 5 basic patterns: equilibrium, disruption, realization, restored order, and re-equilibrium. Claude Levi-Strauss analyzed how narratives are structured around the conflict between opposites such as hero vs villain. Examples are given applying Propp's 7 character types to The Avengers and Todorov's 5 patterns to The Hunger Games.
Vladimir propp’s character theory powerpoint
Vladimir Propp's character theory states that there are normally seven main characters in fairytales - the hero, villain, princess, dispatcher, donor, helper, and false hero. Each character has a defined role or function. For example, the hero is on a quest to save someone, the villain causes trouble, and the dispatcher sends the hero on the quest. Similarly, Tzvetan Todorov's theory analyzed the structure of narratives into five stages - equilibrium, disruption, recognition of disruption, attempt to repair disruption, and new equilibrium. An example using the plot of WALL-E demonstrates each of these five stages.
The Narrative Theory
Vladimir Propp's narrative theory proposes that characters fall into seven types: hero, villain, donor, helper, victim, dispatcher, and false hero. Some characters may encompass multiple types. Tzventan Todorov's theory suggests that conventional narratives follow a five-stage structure: establishing equilibrium, disrupting equilibrium, recognizing the disruption, attempting to repair the disruption, and reinstating equilibrium. The document then provides examples of how these theories apply to the plot and teaser trailer of a horror film about teens entering an abandoned building.
Assignment 9
Zain Khan analyzed conventions of different horror movie genres based on trailers and screenshots. Common conventions included: isolated or abandoned settings where strange things begin to happen, protagonists being stalked or attacked by an antagonist or monster at night, and supernatural presences invading family homes and personal spaces. Zain discussed conventions for specific genres like cabin in the woods films featuring male protagonists protecting groups from threats, psychological thrillers using unexpected threats like dolls, and zombie movies depicting empty streets and uncontrollable infected humans.
The narrative structure
This document discusses different narrative structures and theorists that analyze storytelling techniques. It outlines linear, circular and episodic structures. It then describes Tzvetan Todorov's 5-part structure of equilibrium, disequilibrium, and restored equilibrium. Vladimir Propp's character theory of 7 types like hero and villain in stories is also covered. Finally, Claude Levi-Strauss' idea of binary opposites like good/evil in narratives is explained. As an example, the document states that the film "Gangster Squad" incorporates theories from Todorov, Propp, and Strauss in its storytelling.
Narrative theories
The document discusses two narrative theories - Todorov's theory of five stages of narrative structure (calm, disturbance, acknowledgment, attempt to repair, return to calm), as applied to horror films like Scream, and Propp's theory of 31 narrative functions seen in fairy tales. Propp's theory is then applied as an example to the characters and plot points of the movie Shrek.
What is horror?
(1) Horror films are designed to cause suspense, tension, and scare audiences when they least expect it by involving their worst nightmares and supernatural creatures. (2) Early horror films involved little blood but modern ones contain more graphic violence using weapons like knives and chainsaws. (3) Traditional horror movies focused on ghosts and demons while today most feature possessed humans.

Vladimir’s prop
This document outlines Vladimir Propp's theory of character archetypes in stories, including the hero, villain, princess, dispatcher, donor, and helper. It provides definitions for each character type and examples. Propp studied fairy tales to develop this theory about common character roles. The document also summarizes Tzvetan Todorov's theory of plot structures, which identifies five stages: equilibrium, disruption, realization, attempt to repair the problem, and restored equilibrium.
Narrative investigation
This document discusses narrative theory and theorists Vladimir Propp and Tzvetan Todorov. It summarizes Propp's analysis of Russian fairy tales which identified character roles like the hero, villain, and donor. Todorov suggests most narratives have an initial state of equilibrium, a disruption causing disequilibrium, and a return to a new equilibrium. Both theories can be applied to horror films - Propp's character roles are often present, and horror films follow Todorov's pattern of moving from one equilibrium to another through disruption and resolution.
Research of stock characters
The document summarizes several common stock characters that are often seen in slasher horror movies. These include the stranger, who arrives in town around the same time as murders begin; the wanderer, who explores dangerous areas and is usually killed; and the jock, who is popular but overconfident and meets an early demise. Other characters discussed are the popular girl who is not very smart; Pandora, who appears innocent but may be deceiving; the final girl, who survives to defeat the killer; and the pervert, whose death is also predictable.
The Horror Genre - Media Studies
The document discusses common stock characters, plots, locations, and props used in horror films. Some key stock characters mentioned include the protagonist, antagonist, final girl, and children who are often used to connect the supernatural to other characters. Common plots involve a family moving to a haunted house/location and the father going insane. Isolated locations like cabins in the woods and haunted houses are frequently used due to their ability to create fear. Weapons are a common prop that illustrate vulnerability and are used by both antagonists and protagonists.
Horror presentation
Horror films typically use certain visual conventions like dark colors, low lighting to emphasize shadows, and props like knives and chainsaws associated with killers. Common monsters seen are vampires, werewolves, and mummies. Characters usually include monsters, killers, victims, and someone who figures things out. Settings are often dark, abandoned places at night to build suspense. Horror narratives focus on the conflicts and dilemmas faced by main characters dealing with evil forces or characters. Common themes include good vs. evil, religion, the supernatural, and issues beyond life and death.

What films influenced us to do a horror?
The document discusses two horror films, The Ring (2002) and The Grudge (2004), that influenced the author's decision to do a horror film. The Ring featured an antagonist with a pale, dark-haired look and small stature, which inspired the author's antagonist. Both films generated suspense and tension, which is what the author wanted to achieve. The Grudge also featured a scary little girl, like in The Ring, popping up unexpectedly on victims. This influenced the author's idea of including a scary girl unexpectedly appearing.
Media theories pp
The document discusses several media theories that can be applied to analyze films:
1. Todorov's theory of narrative structure which sees stories progressing from an initial equilibrium, to a disruption, to a restored equilibrium.
2. Propp's theory of character archetypes which identifies common character roles like villains, heroes, mentors.
3. Vogler's hero's journey theory describing 12 stages of a hero's narrative arc from ordinary world to return.
4. Levi-Strauss' theory focuses on binary oppositions like good vs evil that structure narratives.
5. Barthes' theory of an "enigma code" where mysteries are presented to engage the audience.
Fantasy films pp
The document analyzes three trailers for fantasy films - Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. It defines fantasy films as those using magic and supernatural elements. Typical conventions seen in the trailers include mystical creatures, dream-like plots unfolding in modern worlds unknown to ordinary people, secrecy around storylines, dark and mysterious tones, and quick action snippets. Elements indicating the fantasy representation are those that are supernatural or not human, as well as dramatic uneasy music.
Genre research
This document provides an overview of horror genres and subgenres such as gothic, satanic, slasher, and supernatural. It discusses the origins of horror in ancient Egyptian and Abrahamic beliefs in evil spirits. The first horror film was Georges Melies' 1896 short film "Le Manoir du diable." Psychological horrors rely on protagonists' mental fears while supernatural horrors feature encounters with supernatural beings. Common horror film character types include the hero, helpless female, non-believer, old wise man, and antagonist.
Horror
The document discusses common elements of horror film trailers and movies, including stereotypical characters, plots, sounds, locations, and costumes. It notes that horror trailers and films often feature a vulnerable female victim, an evil character like Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street, and sometimes a heroic character. They typically start with a calm situation that builds tension through creepy sounds and leads to a dramatic scene with the victim encountering the evil character. Horror movies also commonly use creepy locations, props like lamps, non-diegetic sounds to build tension, and diegetic sounds like music boxes or nursery rhymes. Costumes are designed to portray characters in a vulnerable or creepy way and
What is Thriller?
Thriller is a genre that aims to elicit emotions like fear, anticipation, or anxiety from viewers/readers through techniques like tension, suspense and excitement. It does this using devices like plot twists and red herrings that keep the audience guessing. Examples of thriller films include The Woman in Black, Shutter Island, and The Dead Zone. Conventions include the protagonist facing danger/puzzles and settings involving cities, violence, and the supernatural. Actors commonly associated with the genre are Janet Leigh, Tom Cruise, and Harrison Ford.
applying narrative theory
The document discusses the application of Vladimir Propp's theory of narrative to analyze several horror movie trailers.
For the "Trapped in Abyss" trailer, it identifies the victim hero as the main character seen smoking and running, the villain as an unseen voice speaking to the hero, and the princess as the blonde woman who falls victim to the villain.
For "Silent Hill Revelation: 3D," it identifies the villain as a disturbing little girl, the hero as the female protagonist seeking her kidnapped father, and the helpers as a male friend who is also kidnapped.
For "Sinister," it identifies the hero as the father investigating mysteries in their new home, the villain as a pagan
Narrative investigation
Narrative refers to story structure and devices used in genres. There are linear narratives with a clear beginning, middle, and end, as identified by Aristotle. There are also circular narratives where the beginning and end are the same. Todorov's narrative theory states stories follow an equilibrium-disequilibrium-recognition-resolution-restoration structure. Propp analyzed folktales and identified 8 character roles and 31 functions that advance the story. Barthes identified codes within narratives, including the hermeneutic code of unexplained mysteries, the semantic code of additional meanings, the cultural code of assumed truths, the proairetic code of implied future actions, and the symbolic code of deeper meanings.
Elements of horror genre
Horror films commonly use certain iconography like haunted houses, knives, and depictions of blood and death. They are usually set in dark and isolated places at night that make people feel vulnerable, like abandoned buildings. The narrative typically involves a monster terrorizing a group of people in a battle of good versus evil. To build suspense and mystery, horror movies employ scary sounds and point-of-view camera shots. They often feature supernatural killers targeting female or young adult victims. Recurring themes are struggles between good and evil or other moral dilemmas.
Theories
Vladimir Propp and Tzvetan Todorov developed theories about common character types and narrative structures in stories. Propp identified 7 common character types that often appear, such as the hero, villain, and helper. Todorov proposed that narratives typically follow 5 stages: an initial equilibrium, a disruption, recognition of the disruption, an attempt to repair it, and a new equilibrium.

Theories
Vladimir Propp and Tzvetan Todorov developed theories about common character types and narrative structures in stories. Propp identified 7 common character types that often appear, such as the hero, villain, and helper. Todorov proposed that narratives typically follow 5 stages: an initial equilibrium, a disruption, recognition of the disruption, an attempt to repair it, and a new equilibrium. The document provides examples of how both Propp and Todorov's theories can be applied to the Harry Potter story, identifying the characters that fit each type and the stages the narrative progresses through.
Narrative Theory
Narrative theory is an interdisciplinary approach to understanding how humans make sense of the world through storytelling. It examines the structure of stories and how they are used to convey meaning, values, and ideas. Narrative theory draws from fields like philosophy, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and literary theory to analyze how narratives are constructed and understood across different cultures and contexts.
Media narrative theory
This document discusses Vladimir Propp and Tzvetan Todorov's narrative theories, which propose that stories follow certain character and plot archetypes, such as a hero, villain, donor, etc. It also provides the example of the movie Batman, which adheres to these theories by featuring Batman as the hero who confronts the villain, the Joker.
Narrative theory
Tzvetan Todorov proposed that all narratives follow a basic structure: an initial equilibrium is disrupted, the disruption is recognized, an attempt is made to repair the damage, and a new equilibrium is achieved. Vladimir identified seven main character types that often appear in stories: donor, helper, princess, hero, false hero, and villain. The movie "Batman Begins" exemplifies these narrative theories, with Batman as the hero, Rachel as the princess, and characters like Scarecrow, Jim Gordon, and Lucius Fox representing the other roles.
Narrative theory
The document discusses two narrative theories and applies them to two stories. It summarizes Tzvetan Todorov's 5-part theory of narrative structure applied to the story of "Alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day". It then summarizes Vladimir Propp's theory of 7 character archetypes and applies it to the characters in "Aladdin". Finally, it provides a brief overview of Propp's theory focusing on the 7 character roles and Todorov's theory of the 5 stages of narrative structure.
Vladimir and tzetan theory.
The document outlines the key character archetypes in stories according to a narrative theory, as well as the typical 5-stage structure of a narrative. It describes the main character types as the hero, villain, donor, dispatcher, false hero, helper, and princess. It also explains the 5 stages as the initial equilibrium, a disruption to that equilibrium, recognition of the disruption, an attempt to repair the disruption, and achieving a new equilibrium. The Cinderella story and the plot of the movie Night at the Museum are used as examples to illustrate these character types and narrative stages.
Vladimir Propp’s theory of characters
Propp's theory of characters. The 8 different character types and examples taken from: The Lion King, The Hunger Games etc.
Narratology: Barthes
Barthes identified 5 codes that are used to create narratives: the action code describes the events, time, and location of the story; the semantic code involves the characters and their development; the point of view code is the perspective the story is told from; the enigma code establishes and resolves mysteries; and the referential and symbolic codes use characters, events, and objects to represent broader concepts and themes.
Vladimir Propp's Theory
Vladimir Propp analyzed Russian folk tales and identified that they follow a common pattern of 31 narrative functions. Some of the main functions include trickery by a villain, a hero being tested by hardship, and a character being transfigured or deceived. Propp also found that tales typically involve 8 types of characters, such as a villain, helper, hero, and princess. His theory was that most stories adhere to a structure of these recurring functions and character types.
Barthes and Levi-Strauss
The document discusses Roland Barthes' theory of five codes that shape how meaning is constructed in a text without definitively determining meaning. The five codes are: the proairetic code, which builds tension and mystery; the semantic code, which suggests additional meanings through connotation; the hermeneutic code, which organizes deeper meanings; the symbolic code, which draws on wider cultural knowledge; and the cultural code, which examines how binary opposites influence meaning based on cultural values. The document also references Claude Levi-Strauss' theory about how meaning arises from opposing concepts.
Todorov's Narrative Theory
The document outlines Todorov's theory of narrative structure and applies it to the plot of the movie "Taken". The theory proposes that stories follow five stages: 1) an initial state of equilibrium, 2) a disruption to that order, 3) recognition of the disruption, 4) an attempt to repair the disruption, and 5) a new restored equilibrium. The summary provides an example of how the plot of "Taken" fits this model, beginning with the daughter planning a trip, the kidnapping disrupting that plan, the father learning of the problem, his efforts to rescue her, and the final reunion with family.
Narrative Theories
The document discusses several literary and narrative theories:
- Roland Barthes' theory of five codes that shape narrative structures without determining meaning.
- Vladimir Propp's analysis of 31 narrative functions common in Russian folktales.
- Claude Levi-Strauss' concept of binary oppositions that shape cultural meanings and values.
- Vladimir Propp's identification of common character archetypes in folktales, including villains, helpers, heroes, and prizes.
- Vladimir Propp's analysis of common plot points or narrative functions in folktales.
- Vladimir Propp's concept of a disruption to the initial equilibrium driving the narrative forward.
VladimiVladimir Propp's 7 Character Types and Their Relation to Our Short Film
1) Vladimir Propp was a Russian scholar who believed there are 7 character types and 31 narrative functions that follow in stories.
2) The 7 character types are the hero, villain, magical helper, donor, dispatcher, princess, and false hero.
3) In the short film, Richard fulfills the roles of helper, dispatcher, and donor as he helps Eve complete her quest and gives her his van. Eve is the hero. Death acts as the villain. The film does not include a false hero.
Gustav Freytag
Narrative theory analyzes narratives or stories. Gustav Freytag, a German novelist and playwright, developed "Freytag's pyramid" in 1853 to analyze dramatic structure. Freytag's pyramid divides a drama into five parts - exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and denouement. These parts progress the narrative and build tension until resolving conflicts in the conclusion. Freytag's analysis provides a framework for understanding plot development in plays, films, novels, and short stories.
Gustav Freytag
The document discusses narrative theory and Gustav Freytag's analysis of dramatic structure. Freytag, a German novelist and playwright, developed what is known as "Freytag's pyramid" to describe the five-part structure of drama: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and dénouement. Although based on five-act plays, Freytag's pyramid can also be applied to novels and short stories. The pyramid analyzes the plot progression and resolution of conflicts in dramatic works.
Tzvetan Todorov and Vladimir Propp's Theory
Narrative Theories of Todorov and Propp using Frozen & Cinderella.
Narrative theories
The document discusses three narrative theories: Vladimir Propp's characterization roles in stories, Claude Lévi-Strauss's concept of binary oppositions that structure narratives, and Tzvetan Todorov's five stage model of narrative structure including an initial equilibrium, disruption, recognition of disruption, attempt to repair it, and reinstatement or creation of a new equilibrium.
Character Basics and Propp
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.
13B Media Theories
Propp's character theory identifies 7 broad character types that commonly appear in folk tales and other narratives: the Hero, Villain, Donor, Dispatcher, False Hero, Helper, and Princess. Though originally developed to analyze folk tales, the theory is still useful because it focuses on the narrative functions of characters rather than their individual traits or genders. Critics argue the theory may dismiss non-male narratives, but proponents counter that the gender of a character does not impact their narrative function.

Narrative theories
Vladimir Propp analyzed Russian folk tales and identified that all characters can be classified into 7 types: the Hero, Villain, Donor, Princess, Helper, Dispatcher, and False Hero. Tzvetan Todorov believes that every narrative follows 5 stages - an initial state of equilibrium, a disruption to that equilibrium, the realization of the change, attempts to repair the situation, and achieving a new equilibrium. Propp focused on character types while Todorov analyzed the overall narrative structure.
Theorists in media
Vladimir Propp was a Russian critic who developed a theory in 1920 that all stories and fairy tales share the same underlying narrative structure, which he categorized into 8 main character roles such as the villain, hero, donor, and helper. Propp believed these character archetypes appear across different stories and cultures. The document then provides examples of how Propp's 8 character roles appear in films and narratives.
Blog task
The document discusses different theories about analyzing stories and plots, including binary oppositions, Tzvetan Todorov's theory of narrative structure, Vladimir Propp's archetypal characters, and Roland Barthes' 5 codes. Todorov's theory proposes that narratives follow a cycle from equilibrium, to disruption, to character realization and attempted restoration of order, to a final restored or new equilibrium. Propp believed that typical character roles like heroes, villains, wise figures and helpers are commonly found across stories.
Narrative theory
Claude Levi-Strauss theorized that all narratives are driven by binary oppositions such as good vs evil that must be resolved. Allan Cameron identified four types of modular narratives: anachronic, forking path, episodic, and split screen. Vladimir Propp suggested there are 7 main character types in narratives including the hero, villain, donor, helper, princess, false hero, and dispatcher. Tzvetan Todorov simplified narrative theory to 5 main stages: a state of equilibrium, disruption of equilibrium, recognition of disruption, attempt to repair disruption, and reinstatement of equilibrium which is never identical to the original state.
Narrative theory ppt
The document discusses two narrative theories - Todorov's and Propp's. Todorov proposed that stories follow a 5-stage structure: equilibrium, disruption of equilibrium, recognition of disruption, repairing damage, and new equilibrium. An example using the movie Jennifer's Body is provided. Propp identified 8 character types and 31 narrative functions that are common across stories. The movie Horns is used to demonstrate Propp's character types.
Media theories
Todorov's theory proposes that stories follow a 5-stage structure: equilibrium, disruption, realization, restored order, and new equilibrium. This is exemplified in a Superman scene where the story starts with Niagara Falls in calm state (equilibrium), a boy falls in (disruption), people notice and panic (realization), Superman saves the boy (restored order), and returns to normal (new equilibrium). Levi-Strauss's theory is that narratives need binary opposites like good/bad to create conflict resolved at the end. Propp's theory is that stories typically include 8 character types like the villain, dispatcher, and hero.
Narrative z.k
Propp analyzed fairy tales and identified that most films follow a structure of 7 main character roles - the hero, villain, donor, dispatcher, false hero, helper, and princess. He tested this theory on Beauty and the Beast, finding characters that fit each of the 7 roles. Todorov proposed that all stories follow a basic 5-part structure - equilibrium, disruption, recognition, resolution, and new equilibrium. This theory is demonstrated using the example of Sleeping Beauty, tracing the story through each of the 5 parts.
Narrative theories
Todorov proposed that all narratives have three basic stages - an initial equilibrium, a disruption to that equilibrium, and a resolution that establishes a new equilibrium. This theory is then demonstrated by summarizing the plots of two movies, 27 Dresses and The Hangover, in three sentences according to Todorov's three stages. Propp studied Russian fairytales and identified eight character archetypes that are often present, including the hero, villain, donor, and princess. His theory is then briefly applied to the characters in Star Wars. Vogler identified 12 stages of the classic hero's journey narrative structure based on his analysis of many films, which became very influential in Hollywood screenwriting.

Task 9 theory
Vladimir Propp analyzed folk tales and identified that they all include 31 plot elements or functions. He also found that there are only 8 character types that appear across many stories. These include the hero, villain, princess/prize, donor, helper, princess' father, false hero, and dispatcher. Todorov's theory of narrative structure applies to Alice in Wonderland, with the story moving from Alice's normal life (equilibrium) to her adventures in Wonderland (disequilibrium) and back to her normal life (return to equilibrium). The document discusses how various narrative theories can be applied to the story of Alice in Wonderland.
Vladimir propp
Vladimir Propp was a Russian scholar born in 1895 who believed that all stories contain 7 main character types and follow a structure of 31 narrative functions. He theorized that every story can be broken down into these components, including characters like the hero, villain, donor, and magical helper who each have defined roles that advance the plot. Propp studied how different narratives manipulate these character types and functions to create various story outcomes.
Narrative theories
The document discusses two narrative theories - Todorov's theory of five stages of narrative structure (calm, disturbance, acknowledgment, attempt to repair, return to calm), as applied to horror films like Scream, and Propp's theory of 31 narrative functions seen in fairy tales. Propp's theory is then applied as an example to the characters and plot points of the movie Shrek.
Vladimir propps theory
Vladimir Propp analyzed Russian folk tales and identified that they follow a common pattern of 31 narrative functions within an initial situation, including functions like trickery, where a villain deceives a good character, and transfiguration, where a hero receives a new identity. Propp also found that tales typically include 8 character types, such as villains, helpers, heroes, and donors. His theory was that most stories adhere to a structure of these recurring functions and character types within the overall plot.

Theories
There are three main narrative structures according to Tzvetan Todorov: circular, episodic, and linear. Todorov's theory of narrative follows the linear structure of equilibrium, disequilibrium, and a return to equilibrium. Vladimir Propp's character theory outlines that there must be at least eight types of characters. Claude Levi-Strauss proposed that narratives often feature binary oppositions such as protagonist vs antagonist or crime vs justice.

Movie theories
- 1. Vladimir Propp`s character theory : Vladimir Propp said that every film has seven characters. These characters are: The princess – needs aid from hero The hero – saves princess , usually marries her The villain- tries to disrupt the prince and princess The false hero – acts like the hero but isnt, takes credit from the actual hero The helper –helps the hero The dispatcher – sends people on the journey The doner – gives the hero something helpful to help them on their mission Tzvetan Todorov`s narrative theory: Todorov believes that a narrative is always constructed with five stages . 1. Equlibrium – how it starts, normal life 2. Distruption – something happenes 3. Recognition of distruption - characters recognise something has happened 4. Attempt to repair distruption – try to fix the situation 5. New equlibrium – there is a new “ normal“ life Vampire diaries is an example of this theory Tinkerbell is an example of Todorov`s theory
