Vladimir Propp is famed for pinpointing the 31 functions of a narrative.He observed myths and typical childhood fairytales and came up with these conventions that all these storylines follow:ABSENTATION:INTERDICTION:VIOLATION of INTERDICTION:RECONNAISSANCE: DELIVERY: TRICKERY: COMPLICITY: VILLAINY or LACK: MEDIATION: BEGINNING COUNTER-ACTION: DEPARTURE: FIRST FUNCTION OF THE DONOR: HERO'S REACTION:
RECEIPT OF A MAGICAL AGENT:GUIDANCE: STRUGGLE: BRANDING: VICTORY: LIQUIDATION: RETURN: PURSUIT: RESCUE: UNRECOGNIZED ARRIVAL: UNFOUNDED CLAIMS: DIFFICULT TASK: SOLUTION: RECOGNITION: EXPOSURE: TRANSFIGURATION:
PUNISHMENT: WEDDING:
RECEIPT OF A MAGICAL AGENT:GUIDANCE: STRUGGLE: BRANDING: VICTORY: LIQUIDATION: RETURN: PURSUIT: RESCUE: UNRECOGNIZED ARRIVAL: UNFOUNDED CLAIMS: DIFFICULT TASK: SOLUTION: RECOGNITION: EXPOSURE: TRANSFIGURATION:
PUNISHMENT: WEDDING:
This Taylor Swift video has a lot of these typical conventions as there is a lady who lacks a partner and eventually a hero comes along and saves her day and becomes her partner.
