media character types and narrative structure.

In media today we were learning about two different things:
narrative structure and character types.
narrative structure:
there are two different views on narrivite types (Propps theory and Todorovs theory)
For props theory he belives it goes in the sequence (1) Perparation (2) complication (3) transference
(4) struggle (5) return and (6) Recognation.
For Todorov it goes in the sequence of (1) equilibrium, (2) disruption, (3) recognition of disruption
(4) attempt to repair disruption and (5) a return or restoration of new equilibirum

For propps character types he belives every film generally has a :
Hero
Villain
Prize
Mentor
Helper
Blocker
Dispatcher
