Léon Analysis - Narrative Theories

In this movie, the Protagonist (Hero) is Léon who saved a little 12 year old girl from her death by providing a safe place for her when she was in danger. The Antagonist (Villain) is the corrupt DEA agent, Stansfield who is storing drugs at the little girl's house. The Donor is Tony who is also the mafioso that gives Léon the Jobs (Dispatcher). The helper is Mathilda who is the little girl he saved, the Hero trained her to 'clean' which is to assassinate other people. She is also the Princess because she is quite vulnerable physically even though she had been trained by a professional assassin.

At the start the equilibrium is that the family lives in the apartment even though it is a dysfunctional family.
The disequilibrium is when Stan finds out that Mathilda's father had been secretly keeping some of the drugs for himself and they decide to kill Mathilda's family. The attempted repair would be when Mathilda tries to kill Stan for revenge and the new equilibrium is the ending where she fails to do so and Léon ends up sacrificing his life for her.

An action code would be when Léon is training Mathilda to 'clean' because it progresses the movie to her going to attempt killing Stan.

An enigma code would be when we see Léon at the start because we don't know who he is and he is quite mysterious since he seems reluctant to open the door for Mathilda and he has a gun in hand. He acts very serious and careful so we wonder who he is.

There is a conflict throughout the film which is the relationship between Mathilda and Stan who want to kill each other for different reasons. Mathilda, because Stan killed her baby brother and Stan because he doesn't want survivors of Mathilda's family.
