Propp's Character Theory

Live Evil carries two of the seven characters types identified by the Propp, the first is The Hero who in this case is Rebbeca who the story revolves around, and is the character which we as an audience know most about. She is also the only survivor who manages gets into direct conflict with the antagonist (The Villain) and at the end fulfill's her quest which in this case was to save her own life. The antagonist is always wearing darker colours and his face always remains hidden behind a mask.
However he fails to include marginal characters, which in my films case is the mother. In Live Evil the mother is almost a character however she still makes a significant contribution to the film's storyline, since she allows the story to continue when she accidently sits on top of the remote control making the film continue to play.
