Narrative - How the story is portrayed

Linea Story Line - A story that plays from beginning to middle to end.

Non-Linea - A manipulated narrative
E.g The ending is shown first/flashbacks


Tzvetan Todorov's theory is that there is a basic structure to all story lines...

• Equilibrium: State of normality
• Distruption: Something disturbs equilibrium
• New Equilibrium: A new normality is created as a result of disruption
