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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. Vladimir Propp
Propp was a Russian scholar who analysed the basic
plot components of Russian folk tales to identify their
narrative elements.
He concluded that all the characters could be resolved
into 7 character types.
3. 1. The Hero
Leads the narrative, is usually looking for something - a
quest, or trying to solve something- a mystery. Does not
have to be male.
Quest to restore Equilibrium.
4. 2. The Villain
Has a conflict with the hero and tries to stop them
from succeeding.
Quest to destroy Equilibrium.
5. 3. The Donor
Gives the hero something - a clue, a talisman, a special
power - which helps them complete their quest.
6. 4. The Princess
Is usually a prize or reward for the hero. If the hero is
female, there can be a prince but this is unusual.
Needs help, protecting or saving
7. 5. The Helper
Helps the hero, often acts as a sidekick.
Aids the Hero on their set task.
9. 7. The False Hero
Individual(s) who set out to undermine the hero’s quest by
pretending to aid them. Often unmasked at the end of the
film.
The false hero takes credit for the hero’s actions or tries to
marry the princess.
10. Tzvetan Todorov
Tzvetan Todorov believes that every narrative has
the same five stages to it, based around the main
character.
11. Life is just right…
Here, the main character’s life is balanced and
normal. There have been no disruptions to the
main character’s life…yet.
12. A problem disrupts…
The main character’s life has suddenly been
disrupted, shattering their previous equilibrium.
13. The main character realises…
The main character now begins to realise that
their situation has changed – and not for the
better.
14. Repair
Repairing the situation begins…
The main character now sets out to ‘right the
wrongs’ and repair their situation, so that life
can be as good as it was originally
(equilibrium).
15. New
Equilibrium
The character has gained a NEW
equilibrium …
The main character has worked through the
problems and as a result, have gained back their
equilibrium. However – they have grown
from their experience. Life is now BETTER
than it was at the beginning of the narrative.
