Narrative Theory: Propp

Propp


Propp's theory analyses Russian folk tales and identifying the 8 key character roles.
These 8 key character roles can be applied to films such as The Wicker Man, Don't Look Now, Batman, Star Wars and The Matrix.

If I was to apply this theory to The Matrix the character roles would look like this:

Hero - Neo
Princess -Trinity
Villain - Agent Smith
Helper - Trinity
Father Figure -Morpheus
Dispatcher - Oracle
False Hero- Cypher
Donor- Oracle

The only part of this theory that we could apply to my music video is the character of the hero, which would be our main character Hayley.
