Todorovs Theory


























Todorov's Theory is that most narratives or plot lines follow the same pattern or path. There are five steps to this pattern which are shown above.

The first stage: Equilibrium is the start of the narrative where the characters are displayed everything seems to be good at the start and no problems are revealed and everything is how it should be.


The second stage: Disruption of the Equilibrium is when the happiness at the beginning has been interrupted. 


The third stage: The recognition of the disruption is when the part of the plot where everyone recognises the disruption which can cause chaos.


The fourth stage: An attempt to repair the damage is where the characters attempt to restore any disruption or problems.


The fifth stage: Is where the problems have all be resolved and normality can return.
