Narrative Theory Analysis of Desserts

We think Desserts relates to the todorov theory, because it has five stages of its narrative.

  • calm stage at the beginning (equilibrium) - where he is walking
  • a disruption of this equilibrium - finding the dessert
  • a realisation that a disruption happened - shocked that he was hooked
  • an attempt to repair the damage of the disruption -  struggling against the hook
  • a restoration of equilibruim - sea coming in and going out.
this theory can be applied to fictional and non-fictional texts can be a good starting point to identify the structure of the text.
