Vladimir Propps
His theory is based along the lines of old fairy tales, he thinks that texts use the same characters.
>The villain — struggles against the hero.
>The dispatcher — character who makes the lack known and sends the hero off.
>The (magical) helper — helps the hero in their quest.
>The princess or prize and her father — the hero deserves her throughout the story but is unable to marry her because of an unfair evil, usually because of the villain.
>The hero's journey is often ended when he marries the princess, thereby beating the villain.
>The donor — prepares the hero or gives the hero some magical object.
>The hero or victim/seeker hero — reacts to the donor, weds the princess.
>The false hero — takes credit for the hero’s actions or tries to marry the princess
Levi Strauss
His theory is based on binary opposition, this means that the narratives have to have opposites in it.
> good and evil
> old and young
> light and dark ect..
Tzvetan Todorov
His theory was that the media text has 5 stages of equilibrium
1. A state of equilibrium as an outset
2. Disruption of equilibrium
3. A recognition of the disruption
4. An attempt to repair the disruption
5. A reinstatement of the equilibrium
