Vladimir Propp & Narrative

Vladimir Propp is a media theorist who studied media texts and identified a common list of key
characters who were often present – these included:
Hero= The one who saves the day or is purely good
Princess= The damsel in distress
Villain= The one who is evil
Helper= The one who aids the hero
False hero= The one who acts the hero but doesn’t actually
save the day- he’s all talk
Watch this clip below and consider which of these characters you have been able to identify - how have 
you managed to do this?
