MacGuffin is a beautiful term that Alfred Hitchcock introduced into the narrative theory and who does not refer to Scottish tea bakery, but an object that is sought, a task that is solved, or a person who has to be found. His only function is to get a story rolling and keeping it in motion. Common examples of a macguffin in the pop culture of the past century: a black briefcase in “Pulp Fiction”, the content of which is never shown, but which some gangsters cost; the ring in “Lord of the Rings”; The rare earth “unobitanium” in “avatar”, which people colonize the planet Pandora.
