Todorov's Narative Structure (Thibaut Nyemba)

For a successful narrative Bulgarian philosopher came out with a theory which can be applied to our story line and all others. He set out these five easy steps which he studied and which can be followed if someone wishes to create one. These steps are:

• A state of equilibrium
• A disruption of that order by an event
• A recognition that the disorder has occurred
• An attempt to repair the damage of the disruption
• Reinstatement of equilibrium (not necessarily back to the original equilibrium)
Notice that it has a clear begginning, middle and an ending.
