Tvzetan Todorov - suggested that narrative follows the following pattern: equilibrium, disequilibrium, new equilibrium.
In simple terms this means that any narrative simply starts in balance: So all things are in order, something comes along and disrupts this, finally at the end of the story things are restored into balance and things are in someways better than before.
A example of this will be, A cop is happy at home with his son(equilibrium), the son is kidnapped, the cop must go on a mission to save him(disequilbrium) ,helped by thegirl he loves who helps him, once he has rescued his son and the bad guys are behind bars, the character lives happily ever after with this new love.(new equilibrium)
