Narrative structure

Here is the structure of our narrative, which is what our story will be based on. The structure of this follows Todorov’s narrative structure.

Equilibrium:

-       - Strict family life, dominated by wealthy parents

-     -   Our protagonist, forced into doing very girly activities (Flower arranging, gardening)

Disruption:

-  Particular interest with one flower – Wolfbane/Women’s bane/Devil’s helmet

-       Accidental poisoning of her father, his death

Disequilibrium:

-       - Comes across flower again in later life, triggers memory of killing father

-       - Does it again to test the flower actually works, ends up killing another man and heavily enjoys the power.

-      - Uses it to target men alongside seduction.

-     -   Uses martinis (trademark) to kill off people

Attempt to restore Equilibrium:

-      - Someone/detective catches on to her serial killings

-    -    Tries to catch up with her to prove her as the killer

-     -   Serial killer notices someone watching her, tries to keep them away

New Equilibrium:

-    -   Kills herself using the flower so she can keep control of her life, nobody can also prove that she was a serial killer
