13 Open Narratives Eg. Television and radio soap operas Closed Narratives More relevant to films and cinema Open Narratives Eg. Television and radio soap operas No sense of ending could go on for ever Characters shift in and out of narrative More than one story line Time is more chronological and more with the world time Characters develop according to audience demands eg Coronation Street reaching its fifteeth year Narrative function eg this weeks villain may become next weeks hero... Christmas day programmes are shown on Christmas day also references to events happening in the real world eg the election Audiences are assumed to have different kinds of memory, and knowledge of a long running soap. Magazines, television, the press often speculate about actors contracts and thus the fate of characters. Closed narrative The audience watch with the likely ending in mind small number of central characters Identifiable traits Greater depth arranged in a hierarchy of importance Compressed time Times and events are special to the story Closed Narratives More relevant to films and cinema Tight reading involved; audience aware it s watching a complete story and therefore reading with the likely end in mind

The donor (prepares the hero or gives the hero some magical object) 4. The helper (helps the hero in the quest) 5. The princess (the heroes reward) 6. Her father (gives the hero his reward for completing the quest) 7. The dispatcher (character who makes the lack known and sends the hero off) 8. The False Hero (takes credit for the hero s actions)
