Applying VLADIMIR PROPP (Draft)

Fairy tales like 'Red Riding Hood' follow this theory to the core having every character from the hero to the princesses father. His idea is all about the characters involved that are explained below

The Hero - (A character on a mission to go through events to fulfil his or her destiny)
                  The final character to meet their demise while destorying the book in the process.

The Villain - (Driven by evil to prevent the hero for completing their tasks)
                     An uncompleted book written by the philosopher that sends readers into an unhealthy                            state of depression.

The Doner - (Aids the hero by giving them help)
                    The character who ended their life by supplying the book to the hero.

The Dispatcher - (Sends the hero on their quest)
                           The investigator who originally stumbles across the book.

The false hero - (Appears to be good but tries to trick the hero)
                          The creator of the book - the philosopher.

The helper
