Todorov

• Todorov states that a story follows a 3 part narrative structure
• The structure begins with an equilibrium
• Equilibrium means everything is balanced and normal. There are no problems in the story
• After the equilibrium there is a disruption. Something bad happens and the hero has to go on a quest to sort it out.
• The third part of his structure is at the end of the narrative. Where the disruption is solved and we go back to a new equilibrium
• New equilibrium- everything goes back to normal
• Some media products challenge the narrative structure. They might open up with a distruption.
• Some media products might end with a disruption instead of a new equilibrium so they watch the next movie in the series seeking for a new equilibrium.
