Vladimir Propp was born in 1895, in St. Petersburg. He studied German and Russian philology. He then went on to observe Russian folk tales and identified their narrative elements. One of his findings was that most tales tended to have 7 basic characters, and this theory can be compared with almost every film or story.
Propp’s 7 Characters are also used in Film Noir. These are the 7 generic characters that most films use to tell the story:
-Hero
-Villain
-Princess
-Helper
-Donor
-Dispatcher
-Father
