narrative in this is England.

Using propp's theory we can establish how the characters are used and what message the director is trying to potray using their status. We start by establishing who the 'Hero' is, in This Is England, Woddy appear to be the hero at the begining of the film where he takes Shaun into the gang, therefore giving him friends and allies which is what he appeard to be lacking. However this is the only part of the film there appears to be a hero, therefore making Woody now look like a 'faulse hero', this is du to his lack of back-bone when it comes to stcking up for Milky. The next character to be established would be the Villan, this is occupied by Combo, Comb puts across this 'easier life' the 'way forward' in jis eays and for a short while the gang begin to believe him. However his 'ideal' life turns out to be a corrupt racist world which the rest of the gang later figure out this and leave his side.
