Todorovs believed that there is a connection between most storylines throughout the film industry. His theory was that each story line has five common conventions these are:
- Equilibrium - the narrative starts and everything is balanced
- Some sort of consequence disrupts the equilibrium
- Then the characters realise the equilibrium is disrupted
- They attempt to resolve this
- It then returns to the equilibrium or a possible new one.
Vladimir Propp's
- The villain (struggles against the hero)
- The donor (prepares the hero or gives the hero some magical object)
- The helper (helps the hero in the quest)
- The princess (person the hero marries, often sought for during the narrative)
- The false hero (perceived as good character in beginning but emerges as evil)
- The dispatcher (character who makes the lack known and sends the hero off)
- The hero or victim or seeker reacts to the donor and weds the princess.
