Todorov & Narrative

Todorov is a media theorist who also studied narrative. His views and ideas centred on the following:
Equilibrium = The start of a text where everything fits the status quo.
Disequilibrium = An event occurs which upsets the balance.
Climax and resolution = The event builds to a crescendo and then stops.

Equilibrium restored/ new equilibrium = Either everything goes back to normal, or things have been
changed and won’t be the same again.

suspects:
