The Birds is a 1963 suspense film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, loosely based on the 1952 story 'The Birds' b Daphne Du Maurier. It depicts Bodega bay, California, which is, suddenly and for unexplained reasons, the subject of a series of widespread and violent bird attacks over the course of a few days.

In the movie The Birds we are shown how the birds attack people so therefore they are the antagonists in the film. Melanie, Annie and Mitch are the protagonist who try to warn the people and try to protect them from the bird attack.

In the end Melanie gets attacked which makes the audience feel sorry for her but yet she isn't dead, she is just injured which leaves the audience wondering what ill happen next. At the end of the film we don't know if the birds have stopped attacking or if they will continue to do that until no one is left which leaves the audience wanting to watch more so they could find out what happens.

The birds follows the Todorov theory as it starts of with a state of equilibrium as they all  are living a normal life. This then gets disrupted when Melanie takes the love birds to Mitchs house. They realise the change when they first see the attack of the birds and then they try to fix that by warning everyone and trying to protect everyone. At the end they get a new equilibrium by leaving the village and going to the city hoping it would be better and they would help to stop the attacks.
