Propp's Key Characters

• Villain/Antagonist - the new girl who moves to town and after feeling ignored, decides to have revenge

The villain is not known at the start of the narrative, it takes until the recognition stage before the characters are aware, with the way it is staged it is possible that the audience previously realise the villains identity.

• Hero/Protagonist - the group of friends that work together to try and escape the villain

In this narrative there are four protagonists through the group of friends, there isn't one friend that is more involved in the story than another as they have equal amounts of involvement.

• Princess - whilst there is no love interest, all of the friends display the characteristics of being         vulnerable and being in need of being rescued at different points

With the threat and danger of both the notes and unknown causes of the accidents, all of the friends will feel vulnerable due to all of the danger coming from unknown source which means that it is harder to be prepared and protect themselves.

• Dispatcher - the leader of the friends that decides who they will collect their evidence and creates the plan

Whilst, the friends have equal involvement there needs to be one friend that makes a decision, as it would make it too competed and harder to follow for the audience if all of the characters were too involved in this stage.

• Princess' Father - one of the girls father who expresses his concern over their new friend 
• Helper - the older sibling who helps in the confrontation and tries to protect them

Levi-Strauss' Binary Opposites
Good VS Evil
The antagonist represents the evil in the narrative, whereas, any who helps the heroes represent the good. In the narrative there is a clear divide in the good vs evil, as there is a side that wishes to cause harm and the other that tries stop them.

The divide is clear in this narrative as there is only one character that poses harm towards the rest of the characters, whereas, everyone else's purpose it to eradicate that threat

Time
In the narrative, it will mainly be in linear time as it will in majority focused in current time. The only stage where the narrative becomes non-linear is in the recognition stage; where there may be flash backs that illustrate the characters realising what has happened at each incident.
