PROPP'S CHARACTER TYPES THEORY:
The PROPP'S character type theory brings in the idea that films will always have the following:The villain - struggles against the hero.
The donor - Prepares the hero or gives them something to help them.
The helper - Helps the hero in the quest.
The princess - The damsel in distress, or person in need of help.
The dispatcher - Character that sends the hero on their quest.
The hero - Takes credit for their own heroic actions/ struggles again the villain.
The False hero - Takes credit for the hero's actions.
Applying this theory to our own narrative:
The villain - Antagonist: Who keeps the missing friend hostage.
The donor - Antagonist: Who provides the clues that the protagonist earns through tasks.
The helper - Antagonist: Who gives the protagonist tasks in order to earn clues: therefore helping her.
The princess - The missing friend 'Hannah Owens.'
The dispatcher - Antagonist: Who introduces the game to the protagonist.
The hero - The protagonist who accepts the game to find her friend.
The False hero - N/A.
