Todorov' Basic Narrative Theory
All stories begin at an equilibrium. After this equilibrium there is a disruption due to action which is then recognized buy the characters within the narrative. After this, an attempt to repair the disruption is made which leads to the reinstatement of the equilibrium. On the other hand, the genre of horror doesn't always follow these steps which is mainly to ensure the audience feels uneasy and experience anxiety due to the non-chronological order.
