A narrative is some kind of retelling, often in words (though it is possible to mime a story), of something that happened (a story). The narrative is not the story itself but rather the telling of the story -- which is why it is so often used in phrases such as "written narrative," "oral narrative," etc. While a story just is a sequence of events, a narrative recounts those events, perhaps leaving some occurrences out because they are from some perspective insignificant, and perhaps emphasising others. In a series of events, a car crash takes a split second. A narrative account, however, might be almost entirely about the crash itself and the few seconds leading up to it. Narratives thus shape history (the series of events, the story of what happened).
While a story is defined as normal a tale that is made up and is not real. These come in many different forms such as folk tales, child books and adult books.
Theory 1
Vladimir Propp
The ideas from Propp is that he believed that a good story has to have these characters to be successful.
The hero, this is someone that has been sent on a mission and has something to gain.
The villain, this is doing something against the hero or has taken something from the hero, this person is normally disliked by the audience.
The donor this is someone that has given the hero something that makes them special or extra.
The dispatcher,
The False hero, this is someone who pretends that they are good and helping others but they are just taking the credit of the hero.
The Helper, this is someone who help the hero though out the mission
The Princesses this is someone that the hero is fighting for because they cant defend them self
Her father this is someone who has send the hero on the mission and gives them a reward
Theory 2
Tzveten Todorov's
The ideas from Todorov's is that he thinking that characters are to complicated so a clear story with structure is the best way for a story to be interesting and successful. He narrative is seen as a circular one. The narrative is driven by attempts to restore the equilibrium but it is shown at the start and is not the same as the one at the end.
