Narrative & genre


Todorov's narrative theory

Equilibrium =
The normality and equal state of characters =Emmet is watching Tv

Disruption= 
break in normality = lord business says you will be put to sleep

Recognition=
 they know something is wrong = emmet recognises he is bad = "wait did he say put to sleep "

An attempt to repair= 
they try to fix it = There is yet one hope me/ destroy him = lord business when he realises emmet is trouble

New equilibrium=
it is all equal again = not shown in trailer















The lego movie is Genre Hybridity
Si-fi
Action
comedy
romance
adventure





Explain how The Lego Movie is an example of genre hybridity.
