Summary:

This thesis explores the narrative structures of video games, with a specific focus on the game 'Assassin's Creed Revelations.' Drawing upon narratology theories, including the works of Vladimir Propp and Claude Lévi-Strauss, it examines how narrative elements in video games engage players and contribute to broader cultural discourses. The study addresses the gap in existing literature regarding the intersection of narrative structures and video game mechanics, emphasizing the ideological implications of character roles and storylines. It highlights how video games, as a contemporary cultural medium, reproduce societal ideologies and values. The intended audience includes scholars, students, and professionals in media studies, narratology, and cultural studies. Generated by AI.
