Propp's Character Theory
The study of Propp's character theory is as follows....
-Propp analysed 100 folk and fairytales to identify how characters are used to move the narrative forward.
-The emphasis was on looking at characters not as representing real people but as functions whose role was to move the narrative forward.
These are the 8 main character's Propp uses as a guideline...
1.The villain
2.The hero
3.The donor
4.The helper
5.The princess
6.The princess' father
7.The dispatcher
8.The false hero
To get an idea about Propp's character theory, I analysed Drag Me To Hell to fit the cast into Propp character theory.
1.The villain - Mrs Ganush
2.The hero - Justin Long
3.The donor - Justin Long & Rham Jas
4.The helper - Rham Jas
5.The princess - Christine Brown
6.The princess' father - Clay Dalton takes the fatherly position
7.The dispatcher - Rham Jas
8.The false hero - No hero
