Probb and Todorov Theory

Here is some research in which i carried out to get a insite on ways others see a story lay out.

Propp's Narrative Theory:
Propp's narrative theory - He said that every character in a story could be put into one of 8 broad character types:

1.The villain - struggles against the hero.

2.The donor - prepares the hero or gives the hero some magical object.                             
3.The helper - helps the hero in the quest.
4.The princess or prize - the hero deserves her throughout the story but is unable to marry her because of an unfair evil, usually because of the villain. The hero's journey is often ended when he marries the princess, thereby beating the villain.
5.her father - gives the task to the hero, identifies the false hero, marries the hero, often sought for during the narrative. Propp noted that functionally, the princess and the father can not be clearly distinguished.                                                                                                              
6.The dispatcher - character who makes the lack known and sends the hero off.                
7.The hero or victim/seeker hero - reacts to the donor, weds the princess.                      
8.False hero - takes credit for the hero’s actions or tries to marry the princess.

Todorov's Narrative Theory:
Todorov's narrative theory claims that each story follows the same structure. It starts with a period of calm, and equilibrium, which is then disrupted. The disequilibrium is then brought to an end by the hero, and the chaos comes to an end. a tipical disney film would follow this theory for example snow white, there a big out rage becuase she is the 'fairest in the land' and the witch or known as the queen cant have it. then it all coes to an end when the hero/prince of the film comes and saves her life from the curses which has been drawn upon her.
