Narrative Theory Draft

Todorov stated that all narratives start off with an Equilibrium and then a disruption (Disequilibrium) where everything changes and then ends with a New Equilibrium where calm is restored. In my case study, Captain American: Civil War i can apply this theory because, at that start there is a moment of peace where the heroes are all friends and the area is calm however disaster strikes as there is an outbreak causing violence and tension between the characters. The new equilibrium is when the heroes resolve the problem.

Protagonist: Captain America
Antagonist: 
Herione: Black Widow
Helper: Bucky (Sidekick)

Barthes Enigma Code: Why did Captain America split up from Iron man?
Barthes' Action Code: The group fights, explosions, robots flying,fighting scenes 
These intrigue the auidence, the trailer makes the auidence question the movie a lot and the use of many Action Codes adds tension overall; highlights of the movie.
