The Narrative Theory
Prop found that in every film there are always seven different types of characters :
A Hero
A Villain
A Donor
A Helper
A Princess
A False Hero
Todorov found that every film passed through five different stages.
1. Equilibrium
2. Disruption
3. Acknowledgement of the disruption
4. Resolution
5. New equilibrium
Prop's theory applied to the Dark Night
A Hero: Bat Man
A Villain: the Joker
A Donor: Luscious Fox
A Helper: Alfred
A Dispatcher: Commissioner Gordon
A Princess: Rachel Dawes
A False Hero: Harvey
Todorov’s theory applied to Jaws
1. Equilibrium: Everybody’s happy at the beach
2. Disruption: The shark arrives
3. Acknowledgement of the disruption: They notice that the shark is there
4. Resolution: They kill the Shark
5. New equilibrium: Everybody is once again happy on the beach
A Dispatcher
