Narrative Analysis Of Pans Labyrinth

Narrative analysis in Pans is very useful to us. This is because the narrative has different themes and different stories running side by side. You have Ofelias story, of her fantastical escape from reality, and Vidals story, fighting the rebels and finding out who the traitors amongst his ouptpost are.

How narrative study is useful for understanding the film:

• It allows for a deeper understanding of Vidal and Ofelias intentions/ what they are trying to achieve.
• It helps us understand the structure of each characters story.
• We can get a better view of the themes of the film.
• We learn the functions of the characters and what role they play in the narrative of the film.
• We find out the intentions behind the characters in each conflict.
