LULU- Propp and our narrative


Propp!

We looked at the work of Vladimir Propp and how he analysed a series of Russian folk tales around the 1920's.  He noticed that the same characters and events  kept being repeated in each one of the stories and wrote a book about it titled "Morphology of the Folk Tale" that was published in 1928.

The characters that are repeated and are also present in our Secondary Task are:

The villain- the stalker 
The hero- Hannah
The helper- Hannah's friend (Cesca)

The events that are repeated and are also present in our Secondary Task are:

Our hero is pursued (by the stalker)
The hero ignores the interdiction (don't talk to strangers/you have to be 18 to use a meeting website)
