Propp theroy's in the shining

I think prop’s theories work to an extent but I found they did not work in the order prop described. A lot of the events did happen as they were described but in different orders. I think this is because horror films follow different routes to conventional stories with the villain being concealed and plot elements being added slowly to add to the fear. Prop’s theories on the character types were defiantly right though and made me think a lot about characters and their roles and came in useful. The story elements give you a lot more depth to analyse the story, which are also very useful when analysing.
