Micro drama and Narrative Theory

Theorist Todorov
 states there are three stages a story invloves, at the beginning the equilibrium which is a peacful state, then in the middle dis-equilibrium where an event takes places which disrupts this peaceful state and then there is a new equilibrium at the end where a new peacful state occurs and somethign happens to evolve the disruption.

Another Theorist Vladmir Prop states there are 8 stereotypical characters in any story these consist of:
THE HERO:
THE VILLAN:
THE DISPATCHER:
THE HELPER:
THE DONER:
THE PRINCESS:
HER FATHER:
THE FALSE HERO:

Our micro dramas plot consisted of the villian with a teleporting watch( majic object and doner ) who captures the princess, whilst hurting the false hero. The false hero is then found by the hero and the helper who goes to the dispatcher and gets the message from him to go and defeat the villan and save the princess, they succeed in this mission and save the princess, detroying the watch (majic object) whilst doing it. The father didnt play a part in the film due to the lack of members in our group only being six of us. When everything is done with, the false hero then trys to take recognition for saving the princess however the helper goes on to tell her who the real hero is.
