marry the princess and be with her forever
The Donor: The father informs his son that the villain is about
to attack
The Helper: The princess brother punches the villain.

she is going to have a wedding, she flirts with the villain.
The Dispatcher- The father finds out about the princess behaviour
and tells her future husband.
The Hero-The husband delivers a speech on how he would
always be there for his wife, they get married and live happily ever after.
Roland Barthes
Enigma Code: Will the princess chose the villain instead of
her husband to be? .This is an enigma code because the audience wouldn’t find
out the answer until the end.
Action Codes: there aren’t any action codes in this as they’re
no fights or arguments.
Multi- Strand Narrative- There is only one narrative that is
over the whole episode or film.
Linear Pattern- This story does follow chronological order
as there is a beginning, middle and end.
Equilibrium-
Everything is fine as everybody is getting ready for the princess wedding
and everybody is happy. The family are all on a table
Disequilibrium-
The brother finds out about the villains plot and decides to intervene.
This made everybody worried about the brother.
New Equilibrium- The son punches the villain, the villain back
off and looks for a new women in his life. The princess gets married and continues
her life.
