Theorists - Dyer, Todorov, Propp and Levi Strauss

Todorov -

The theorist who studied narratives and came up with the theory that all narratives have an equilibrium, a disruption, a quest and a return to the equilibrium.

Propp -

The theorist who identified that narratives tend to contain identifiable character roles, such as the hero, mentor, villain and a helper.

Levi Strauss -

The theorist who said all narratives are made up of binary opposites. The use of opposites offers a comparison and helps to exaggerate features, examples.. dark vs light, warmth vs cold, etc.

Dyer -

Dyer was the theorist who studied celebs and concluded that stars are an image and not a real person, a cultural construction, a commodity, both extraordinary and ordinary. An example of one of these stars would be Lady Gaga.
