Media Theories

 In film, there are a bunch of theories that make to a good film, one of which is character theory. Our teacher gave us a bunch of theories on a paper that we were supposed to study(here is the paper)

If you couldn't see in the photo, character theory is a theory made by Propp which states that every character in the film falls into 1 of 7 categories. 

Hero: The protagonist

Villain: The antagonist who goes against the protagonist

Dispatcher: The character that sends the protagonist on his journey

Helper: The person who helps the protagonist 

Donor: The character who gives the hero something that helps them a lot

Princess: The person who the hero is looking to save or be with

False hero: Character who seems good but turns on the protagonist

Now so far at the end of the opening, we have been introduced to 3 main characters: Erebus, Leo, The Therapist. Erebus is clearly the villain of the story, haunting the hero, Leo's, head. And the helper is clearly the therapist but might turn into a false hero down the line towards the end of the story.
