Todorov's and propp's theory

Todorov's system containes 5 stages:

Equilibrium: Is how everything is at the moment, we get introduced to the main character, the current location and the current situation.

Complication: Is when a significant event disrupes the equilibrium and un-balances the current situation.

Disequilibrium:  Is when the main character is at the point where he needs to think about how to re-establishe the equilibrium

Climax: is when the final significant event occures and decides weither things well be better or worst 

New Equilibrium: is the outcome of the climax, everything is either the same as the original equilibrium but a little better( that's what happens in most cases) or it is worst.

Propp's system has 5 character types:

 The Hero: is the main character who overcomes obstacles.

The Princess: is the reward for the hero at the end of the story.

 The Villain: is the character that creats the obstacles for the hero

The Donor: is the character that at some point in the story helps the hero by giving him an item or an advise that will drive the hero to overcome the las few obstacles.

The sidekick: Is the character that helps the hero during most of the story but in most cases dies.
