Tzvetan Torodov
He is a Bulgarian structuralist linguist publishing influential work on narrative from the 1960s onwards. Torodov suggested that stories begin with an equilibirum or status quo where any potentially opposing forces are in balance. This is disruputed by some eventm, setting in chain a series of events. Problems are solved so that order can be restored to the world of the fiction.
Beggining > Middle > End
Situation 1 > Problem > Resolution ( Situation 2 )
Katie Playing > Katie Hungry > Katie eats then plays.
Equilibrium > Disruption > Resolution/New equilibrium
