Construction - Torodov Theory of Narrative

Todorov is a Bulgarian linguist publishing work on narrative since the 1960s. He suggested that there are five stages in a narrative film.

1.The narrative theory of Todorov is that at the beginning of the film, there is an equilibrium and everything is balanced and defined in some cases as 'normal'.

2. An event occurs that breaks the equilibrium, or a problem arises.

3. The event becomes known to the main characters or Protagonist.

4. The disruption is attempted to be repaired and restore equilibrium.

5. The equilibrium is restored and there is a happy ending.
