Todorov
Todorov states that narratives have an equilibrium (the normal life of a character) - diequilibrium (disruption to that life) - resolution (return to an equilibrium). The key idea here relates to the equilibrium and resolution.
The happy family at the start of the video is being represented as 'normal' - the equilibrium
The abuse towards the mother is the disequilibrium
The father being sent to prison and the daughter moving out is presented as the resolution, which is creating a new equilibrium as it doesn't return to 'normal'
This narrative rienforces values that are needed in life, such as happiness and escapism
