Tzvetan Todorov came up with an idea that most narratives start with a state of Equilibrium in which life is normal and protagonists happy. There are five stages in his theory:- Equilibrium
- Disruption
- Recognition of Disruption
- Attempt to repair Disruption
- New Equilibrium
For example,
- Town is peaceful
- Little girl gets murdered
- Father reports girl missing
- Father goes after killer
- Killer gets arrested
