There are 5 stages to a narrative (story) and Todorov states that every plot tends to follow said stages. These include:
Equilibrium: The start of the narrative. Typically it shows a world with little to no disturbances and usually shows a happy beginning.
Disruption: Then the plot takes a turn and there is a certain part of the narrative that ends up taking the story into disruption.
Realisation of the Disruption: The characters in the narrative will then become aware of the disruption mentioned previously. They tend to take action or plan to take action as soon as they realise what is going on.
Process of restoring the equilibrium: The plot then follows the main character(s) trying to combat the disturbance and they aim to restore the world to what it was (it's original equilibrium).
Restored Equilibrium: At the end of the narrative the world is back to normal and normality can resume once more.
