What is a Narrative Structure
By Definition:
"Narrative structure, a literary element, is generally
described as the structural framework that underlies the order and
manner in which a narrative is presented to a reader, listener, or
viewer. The narrative text structures are the plot and the
setting."
Essentially how a story is told, and in the following posts
I hope to talk about three theories about a stories dilemmas character types,
and the conflicts we conventionally see in many of our favorite films everyday.
The posts will be named with he following titles;
1)"Narrative Structure Theory Task - Todorov's
Theory" - Here I will talk about "Tzetan Todorov's Theory" and
his interpretation of a narrative that every story follows.
2)"Narrative Structure Theory Task - Vladimir Propp's 8
Character Types" - Vladimir believed almost every story will only have
these eight character types, no matter how many character's you have they only
comply with these eight.
3)"Narrative Structure Theory Task - Claude
Levi-Strauss' Binary Oppositions" - Good vs Evil, Crime vs Justice etc.
these are the principle binary oppositions Claude summarised films to follow.
