As humans in media we look for a beginning, middle and an ending. The human mind wants to make sense of things and we are constantly looking for connections in different events for example when watching a film.
Todorov's theory suggests that narrative should involve a transformation through the progression of a disruption. There are five main stages to Todorovs theory of narrative:
1. A state of equilibrium (all is as it should be)
2. A disruption (usually by an event)
3. Recognition that the disruption has occurred
4. Attempt to repair the damage of the disruption
5. Return or restoration of a new equilibrium
This theory is something that I will be including in my piece. In the narrative of my piece there is not really a starter equilbrium it is more just the gaining of an equilibrium when the character becomes happy and confident.
