Propp- Characters Theory.
Villain: Eileen, who had a mental illness due to her son's death.
Protagonist: James, vulnerable young boy.
Princess: Megan (James' love interest)
Dispatcher: The husband (Who saves James)
Levis Strauss- Binary Opposition
Two opposite characters.
James- young. popular. happy, good, male, healthy
Eileen- old, alone, sad, evil, female, unhealthy
Todorov- Equilibrium
Different obstacles that arise in the film.
Eileen loses her son, then her husband leaves, then she kidnaps James, James has to get away.
Barthes- Codes
Enigma code- why is she stalking James?
Action code- (no dialogue) Eileen is evil, due to the music that is shown with her presence
Symbolic code- (How she is shown) Eileen's costume and posture shows that she is evil.
