The document is a thesis by Christopher James Maben that explores the application of Proppian narrative structure as a rhetorical tool in the opening statements and closing remarks of criminal trials. It analyzes the case of The People of the State of California vs. Frankie Joe Prater and Robert Memory, aiming to improve legal communication by examining how narrative strategies can enhance attorney effectiveness in persuading juries. The study identifies various functions within Propp's model and assesses their presence or absence in trial narratives, ultimately proposing a modified version of Propp's model tailored for legal contexts. The findings suggest that while the Proppian model can be beneficial, challenges remain regarding the clarity of hero roles and narrative coherence in courtroom settings.
