TZVETAN TODOROV'S THEORY OF NARRATIVE

Todorov suggested that conventional narratives are structured in five stages; 

Equilibirum meaning normal occurrences.

1 --> A state of equilibrium at the outset
2 --> A disruption of the equilibrium by some action
3 --> A recognition that the equilibrium has been disrupted
4 --> An attempt to repair the disruption
5 --> A reinstatement of the narrative structure (back to normal)
