Luther theorists notes

Luther: 
Barthes:  enigma code… the question of who is this mysterious killer and why is he doing it?
 Action code… handcuffing George Cornilious to the radiator. "I cannot forgive you for this, therefore there is a bounty on your head"
Symbolic code… Blood on his pictures on the wall- death- he is the killer.
Pigeon dying- woman dying

Todorov: equilibrium at the beginning when he is standing on the rood top. 
disruption of the equilibrium: he gets called back to the force as a serial killer is on the lose. His love interest was killed.
recognition of it: they find the bodies and try to follow the puzzle back to who the killer is
attempt to repair the damage: they try and catch the killer
new equilibrium: serial killer dead (in the hospital)

Propp
The donor: Megan- she had information about Luther's dead love person- Alice Morgan
Villain: Steven Roads
Hero: Luther 
Helper: Theo Bloom and Emma
Dispatcher: Man from the club 

Levi: Good vs Evil
Police vs serial killer.
Luther's mind vs Luther's morals
