This document summarizes several literary theories and how they apply to the narrative presented in a music video: Propp's character archetypes of hero, damsel in distress, and villain are present. Strauss's concept of binary oppositions like good vs. evil is also evident. Barthes identified several codes - the video demonstrates the enigma code, action code, semantic code, symbolic code, and cultural code. Finally, Todorov's 5 stages of narrative are shown as the original equilibrium, disruption, recognition, attempt to restore, and new equilibrium.
