Narrative Theories - Todorov
Todorov's narrative theory basically states that most stories or plot lines follow the same pattern or path. There are five steps in this pattern:
Equilibrium - The first part of the story will display a happy start, where the majority of characters are content and everything is as it should be.
A Disruption - The second part of the story will feature a problem or something will disrupt the happiness.
Realisation - This part of the plot is when everyone realises the problem and it is chaos.
Restored Order - This part of the plot is when the characters attempt to repair the damage and restore the problem.
Equilibrium Again - This is the final part of the plot where the problem is resolved and normality can resume again.
