Does our script follow Propp's narrative?

Our film doesn't quite follow Propp's narrative, but there are still some similarities. Propp said that most films have the same 8 main character roles:

Hero (main character) - Adrian (Sean)
Villain (conflicts with hero) - Demon / Homeless bloke
Donor (provides an object to help the hero) - None in our film
Helper (aids the hero) - None in our film
Princess (reward for hero) - Adrian's life
Princess' father (rewards hero) - Homeless bloke
Dispatcher (sends the hero on his way) - THE Pencil Company
False hero (pretends to be a 'good guy') - Adrian at the start of the film
