Narrative is an interesting thing. Propps theory states that all stories follow the same framework and feature the same character archetypes. These are The Hero, The Villain, The Princess, The Helper, The Dispatcher, The False Hero and The Father. According to this theory all films and stories begin in a state of equilibrium, the world as it should be, then falls into disequilibrium, when everything goes wrong, then at the end of the story back to a new state of equilibrium, a new world and a new normal. This is a video me and some others made relating this theory to the movie Whiplash. Watch it here:
