What is Todorov's theory

Narrative structure theory by Todorov is about how the narration of stories is created. In this theory Todorov mentions that there are five stages that a character will go through those are:

Equilibrium

is a balance that is established at the start of a movie where everything is as it should be. 

Disruption 

something disrupts the equilibrium which will create a unbalance this is usually caused by a disaster. 

Recognition 

The character realises that the equilibrium is broken.

Repair the damage

they go on a mission to repair the unbalance caused by the disruption.

Equilibrium again

The character succeeds and a new equilibrium is formed or there is a restoration of the original equilibrium.
