Todorov Theory

Todorovs narrative theory basically states that most stories or plot lines follow the same pattern or path

1. Equilibrium.
The first part of the story will display a happy start, where the majority of characters are content and everything is as it should be. So in the Simpsons Movie, in the first part, everything is normal and Homer is doing chores.

2. A Disruption
The second part of the story will feature a problem or some thing will disrupt the happiness. In the Simpsons, it begins when Homer saves the Pig

3. Realisation
This part of the plot is when everyone realises the problem and it is chaos. So, the Simpsons are kicked out of Springfield and forced to move to Alaska.

4. Restored Order
 This part of the plot is when the characters attempt to repair the damage and restore the problem, so the Simpsons go back and save Springfield.

5. Equilibrium..
This is the final part of the plot where the problem is resolved and normality can resume again, so the dome is blown up and everyone is free
