Todorov's theory
Applied to Maleficent
Equilibrium- The two kingdoms live in peace with a young Maleficent whom is in love with the prince from neighbouring kingdom.
Disequilibrium- The prince that Maleficent was in love with stole her wings in order to become king opposed to killing her.
Acknowledgement of disequilibrium- Maleficent sees the error of her ways and tries to reverse the curse which she has cast upon Aurora.
Solving of damage- Maleficent is unable to reverse the curse however she is able to alter it to be broken by true loves kiss. Aurora's bond with the man whom Maleficent finds to kiss her is not strong enough so the curse is not broken but in anguish Maleficent kisses Aurora on the forehead which breaks the curse due to their friendship.
New equilibrium- At the end of the film we see the two kingdoms living in harmony and Maleficent once again with her wings.
