Narative theories

This is an example of Todorovs theory as we have the typical narrative structure. We have out climaxes and problems but by the end everything has been resolved.We also use elements of Propps theory during the fire scene. The sister is the damsel in distress because she is trapped by the fire, twins are the villains because they are the ones who start fire, the hero's are the firemen, who put out the fire. We also use elements of Strauss by using binary opposites. Rich/ Poor, Happy / sad, funny/ serious, light/ dark.
