Theorizing our Characters
What is the Character Theory?
For our project, my group has concluded that Character Theory fits our story the best! We created a character that is a princess in the protagonist's eyes even before realizing she fits the princess archetype in Propp's Character Theory perfectly! Hold on, I'm getting ahead of myself! Let me backtrack and explain to you just what the character theory is.
Through studying over 100 fairytales, Vladimir Propp created this theory in 1928, saying that every character in a story fits into one of seven different archetypes. The helper, the villain, the donor, the princess, the dispatcher, the false hero, and the hero all work together to create one of the 31 narratives. In creating this theory, he was able to set up the foundation for future narratology. Let's dive into these archetypes!
The Hero
How Does this Apply?
The Helper
A film character that fits this archetype is Tails originally adapted from the Sonic video game franchise. Throughout 'Sonic 2' (2022) Tails assists Sonic through his initiative gadgets and gizmos which help the pair progress through the movie and defeat their villain. If it weren't for Tails, Sonic would've failed within the first 20 minutes of the movie, possibly being dead! Tails may not have done all of the heroic stuff, but he was the one to help Sonic do his heroic stuff. Tails is important to both this movie and to the hero, Sonic, because he helps the story progress and teaches Sonic how to depend on others and grow into the hero he wants to be.
