Vladimir Propp’s Character Theory

CHARACTERS
1.The hero (seeks something)
2.The villain (opposes the hero)
3.The donor (helps the hero by providing a magic object)
4.The dispatcher (sends the hero on his way)
5.The false hero (falsely assuming the role of hero)
6.The helper (gives support to the hero)
7.The princess (the reward for the hero but also needs to beprotected from the villain
8.Her father

Can you think of any TV drama characters that fit this description?
