Narrative Theory - Propp & Todorov - The Queen Bee

To analyse a fairytale, we have been looking at the narrative theories of Tzvetan Todorov & Vladimer Yalovlevich Propp. I have chosen to look at Grimm's story "The Queen Bee" and apply this to Todorov's theory.
This theory consists of five parts in which there is an initial Equilibrium, a disruption of said equilibrium, the recognition and plan to resolve, attempt to repair the damage and finally the creation of a new equilibrium before the cycle starts again. These theories will help me change and develop the original fairytales as I change them accordingly to suit a modern audience.

The Queen Bee

1. Equilibrium - Two of the king's sons want to leave and find a fortune.
2. Disruption - The third brother sets out to find the other siblings as they cannot return because they have started living foolishly. The third brother ventures out to find them, stops them from killing ants, bees and ducks and then they find an old man who asks indirectly for the three sons to find pearls and break the spell of people turning into marble. 
3. Resolve - The brothers plan to find the pearl. Two of them fail and turn into marble but the third brother attempts to find the pearls himself
4. Attempt to repair damage - The third brother, with the help of the animals he refused to kill, finds all the pearls and breaks the spell
5. New Equilibrium - Peace is restored and the brother becomes the new king.

The Propp Theory is a more concise, specific and linear theory. They share similar ideas. This theory is the idea that there is an original order including a family or community (Preparation), An event that compromises the safety of this community or family and introduces a hero to plan action (Complication). There is then a gift given to the hero. Regarding games this could be upgrades, a weapon or simply something that is necessary for the hero to progress within the story/game (Transference). Next, there is a conflict or battle that the hero must endure (Struggle). The hero can either succeed or fail, but restores balance and escapes or finishes the fight and returns from the battle (Return). Finally the hero is rewarded after accomplishing the task they have set out to do (Recognition).

1. Preparation - There exists a king with three sons. Two want to leave and find great fortune.
2. Complication - The third brother sets out to find his siblings as they cannot return because of their foolish life choices
3. Transference - The third brother gains the help of the animals because he didn't want to kill them like his brothers and this gives him the advantage of finding the pearls
4. Struggle - He looks for the pearls and uses the help of the ducks to retrieve a key from the river aswell as the ants helping him round up the pearls
5. Return - After finding all of the pearls, the third brother can break the spell and his siblings return back to normal along with everyone else who had been turned into marble
6. The hero is rewarded with the title of the new king
