Development- The main character leaves his house to enter his garage where his son's killer is held prisoner.
Complication- After the prisoner has pleaded and presented his story the main character becomes sympathetic with him.
Climax- The main character enters into a monologue on actions of people and the consequences of those actions and how society has become a joke.
Resolution- The main character releases his son's killer realizing if he kills him he will have reverted back to his old ways but satisfied the prisoner has learnt from this experience he retreats back to his life clutching a photograph of his son.
This is my first initial idea which follows Tzvetan Todorov's theory of narrative as the events that unfold create a disequilibrium and therefore creates a new state of equilibrium. I now need to take these events and deconstruct them to compare them with other critical theorists' theories as I think Todorov is too simplistic, my teacher showed me an interesting powerpoint on semiotics for beginners:
Using this powerpoint I have identified that the use of my red arrows symbolises blood, violence and crime which fits my genre of crime itself.
perfect introduction showing understanding and key ideas presented in a visually strong and interesting way - well done.
