Narrative Stages

Tzvetan  Todorov's narrative theory  suggests that all  narratives  follow a three part structure where they begin with equilibrium, where everything is balanced, progress as something comes along to disrupt that equilibrium, and finally reach a resolution, when equilibrium is restored. These are the steps for all traditional stories: 1. Equilibrium (everything is as it should be) 2. Disruption (by an event) 3. Recognition of disruption 4. Attempts to repair disruption 5. Return to equilibrium
