Todorov & The Classical Hollywood Narrative

 Todorov & The Classical Hollywood Narrative 

Todorov was a very influential individual, from Bulgaria; He indulged in History, Literacy, Sociology and being an essayist. He is the main culprit behind the traditional narrative theory. If not for Todorov, narratives wouldn’t have their structure in which they still follow to this day, Todorov discovered that narratives have a repeated chronological process, where actions take place in a specific order one after the other. Todorov mentioned in his theory that there always is three stages that a character will go through, these being equilibrium, where everything in the narrative is balanced. Then progress, when something or someone comes along to disrupt that equilibrium. And finally, they reach a resolution when equilibrium is restored.
