Theorists of LFTVD

Todorov: Equilibrium Theory (Language)

Traditional narratives follow a 3 point structure (Beginning, Middle, End), which unfolds in 4 phases:
  1. Exposition
  2. Introduction to conflict 
  3. Climax
  4. Resolution 
Strauss- Binary Opposition
  • Strauss identified that we understand the world by the relationship that two opposites have together.
  • He believed that narratives are arranged around the conflict of binary oppositions.
  • Some of these oppositions could include:
  1. Men vs Women
  2. Good vs Bad
  3. Day vs Night
  4. Old vs New
  5. Right vs Wrong
