Tzvetan Todorov proposed a 5-component structure for narratives: 1) an initial equilibrium, 2) a disruption to the equilibrium, 3) realization of the disruption, 4) an attempt to repair the disruption, and 5) a new equilibrium, changed by the events of the story. The document analyzes how Taylor Swift's music video for "Blank Space" follows this structure closely, while Katy Perry's video for "Part of Me" contradicts it by beginning with the disruption rather than an initial calm state. The author concludes they may alter Todorov's theory slightly in their own work by ending on a cliffhanger without resolving the equilibrium.
