Vladimir Propp. I.e., the idea of a hero, a princess and a villain, this is a narrative theory that has it's traces in almost all forms of narrative as it is the most used example of a plot. Mine and Caity's music video also follow's this structure as Luke is presented as the villain as he is shown to be hurting Katie emotionally through the montage Me and Caity plan to film.
Katie on the other hand is shown as a love interest the role commonly played by the princess in the narrative but then is also shown as the hero as she solves her issue by herself by coming to terms with Luke no longer being with her. Which then adheres to the idea of liberal
feminism- as she doesn't need a man to look after her.
Spelling in the post title! Propp is not a new theorist - he is a very old theorist - perhaps you should also look at Todorov and the idea of equilibrium - disequilibrium and a new equilibrium.
