NARRATIVE THEORY:

Tzvetan Todorov:

• Suggests most narratives start with a state of equilibrium in which life is normal and protagonist is happy.
• This state of normality is distrupted by an outside force, which has to be fought against in order to return to a state of equilibrium.
• This model can easily be applied to a wide range of films.
• Equilibrium - Disequilibrium - New Equilibrium
