This document discusses narrative structure and how it relates to genre, themes, character development, and audience appeal. It compares Todorov's theory of narrative structure to portmanteau storytelling and examines the reasons for choosing a non-linear structure, including keeping the plot moving at a good pace and reinforcing themes of fate and destiny. While a non-linear structure could be seen as "style over substance", it may also reflect the themes of the work. The response must use evidence from the film to argue both sides of whether the narrative structure enhances or distracts from the work.
