Story Ideas

For my narrative, I have looked at different theories for what structure might work best as a project considering time limitations and budget. For structure I am going to use Todorov's structure where the equilibrium is balanced but is then distrupted sending the protagonist on a quest to restore it or create a new equilibrium. The story type will be the fatal flaw idea, where the protagonist will make a mistake and will have to resolve it. Also, the story will focus on the protagonists redemption throughout the narrative while he/she resolves the dilemma at hand.

One film where the fatal flaw plot idea is used is in The Army of Darkness, the third film in the Evil Dead trilogy. When Ash, the protagonist, picks up the necronomicon, he is supposed to speak three magic words he was told earlier. When he messes up and an army of the dead arise he has to redeem himself and fix this problem.
