Narrative theory’s
- 2. Tomorrow has written that all narratives begin with equilibrium where in which everything is good and balanced. ( the initial situation ) Then there later is a interruption, which is solved in the end. When everything is resolved at the end of the narrative a new equilibrium is restored or established.
- 3. Equilibrium ( a normal state, neutral, good or bad) Interruption of the equilibrium ( action or characters) Protagonist realises the equilibrium has been disrupted and tries to correct and restore the equilibrium. When the equilibrium is restored ( good, bad or neutral) a totally new equilibrium is established.
