Narrative structure, is described as a structural framework in which a narrative is presented to a viewer. The text structures are the plot and the setting.
The narrative structure of any work has to contain a plot, theme, and resolution. It can also be divided the three-act structure known as setup, conflict, and resolution. The setup is where the main characters and their situations are introduced, and contains the character's backgrounds and personalities. A problem is introduced, which is what drives the story.
The second act, the conflict, is the bulk of the story, and begins when the catalyst sets things into motion. This is the part of the story where the characters go through major changes in their lives as a result of what is happening; this can be referred to as the character arc, or character development.
The third act, or resolution, is when the problem in the story boils over, forcing the characters to confront it, allowing all the elements of the story to come together and inevitably leading to the ending.
An example is the 2014 Guardians of the Galaxy, the first act takes them up to their imprisonment in the Kyln. Here the main characters interact with each other and start to form bonds. The second act starts with their breakout of the Kyln and try to sell the infinity gem to The Collector at Knowhere. This in turn causes an active conflict from Ronan, the main villain of the film. This has a direct effect on the group learning to stick together and learn the value of friendship as their bonds continue to grow. The third act is ultimately an all out attack on Ronan to stop his plans. They succeed in the end, thus becoming 'Guardians of the Galaxy'.
