frozen

The film frozen follows Todorov's theory of equilibrium. The equilibrium is created near the start when its summer normality. The disequilibrium is created when Elsa and Anna get into an argument and Elsa accidentally not being able to control her power turns summer into a violent winter forever. The new equilibrium is at the end when Elsa stops the winter and Anna and Elsa defeat Hans because they find out he is evil. The sisters reunite and are close again just like they were when they were younger (happy ending).

The propp: There is one of the main characters Anna who acts in this film as the protagonist because in the film she is on a quest to find her sister and in the end she finds Elsa and risks her life to save her. In this film Elsa acts as the Heroine. This is because should Anna succeed in her quest to find her, Elsa will be her reward. The hero has been fighting to try and safe her sister and the villain is also after her to try and kill her. Anna earns her reward as she sacrifices her own life for her sister's when Elsa unfreezes due to their love for each other. The antagonist in this film is Hans because he pretends to be in love with Anna just so he can be in charge of their palace and Hans also tries to kill Anna and Elsa (he gets in the way of Anna trying to save Elsa). Christoph acts as their side kick by trying to help Anna find and save her sister. He offers her support and is therefore the Helper. Olaf in the film acts as the mentor and donor because when elsa is about to die he stays with her and helps her keep fighting and he also helps Anna find her sister and save her.

The trailer is full of Barthes' enigma and action codes. These are to draw the audience into the film to watch it all so their questions will be answered. The action code could be meeting Anna and Christoph and the power getting stronger. The enigma's could be; will she ever save her? Will Anna get together with Hans or Christoph? and more.
