Roland Barthes in his “Introduction to the Structural Analysis of Narratives” (1966) proposed three levels of narrative structure. Which among the following are the narrative structures proposed by him:
(A) Functions
(B) Actions
(C) Grammar
(D) Narration
(E) Coherence
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is (A), (B) and (D) Only.

In his seminal essay "Introduction to the Structural Analysis of Narratives" (1966), the French literary theorist and semiotician Roland Barthes proposed a structuralist model for analyzing narrative texts. He argued that a narrative is hierarchical and can be understood at three distinct, interrelated levels of description. These levels are:

1. Functions (A): This is the lowest level of narrative structure, comprising the basic functional units or details (often referred to as narrative units or kernels/catalysts) that build the plot and advance the story.
2. Actions (B): The intermediate level, which focuses on the characters not as psychological entities, but as participants or "actants" defined by their actions and roles within the narrative framework.
3. Narration (D): The highest level, which is the level of discourse. It concerns how the story is communicated to the reader or listener, focusing on the narrator, the narrative voice, and the relationship between the narrator and the reader.

Grammar (C) and Coherence (E) are not among the three specific hierarchical levels of narrative structure outlined by Barthes in this text. Therefore, the options corresponding to Functions (A), Actions (B), and Narration (D) represent the correct components.
