Plot - A new girl has arrived to a new school in West-London. However, who ever she associates her self with is killed. After a number of deaths fingers are pointed towards her. But the questions is is she really innocent? is she the reason for the killings? or has her past haunted her?
The theory applied to this story would be Todorov's. As at the start there would be an equilibrium. The equilibrium would be of everything being perfect no deaths, everyone happy and the main charter fitting in and getting to know people around the school. The disequilibrium is that there are many killing associated with the people that girl knows. Therefore, many people are doubting her and saying she the killer. The new equilibrium would be of her proving her innocents. There would be a re-insurance within the audience of peace being restored and order.
In addition, Propps theory would apply to this as well. The hero would be the girl who our main character is. There wouldn't be a villain that is obvious however, a false hero whom appears to be good but is secretly behind all the killings. Last of all their would be an helper that supports the main character throughout all the killings taking.
Last of all Barthes theory of enigma codes will be used aswell. We would start of with our main character being introduced e.g. getting ready in morning for first day of school etc. This would allow our audience to easily identify that this is our main protagonist then slowly introduce other charcters within the narrative.
