Barthes theory
Barthes theory focuses on the concept that every narrative
is made up of...
The enigma code- This sets up the mystery of the
narrative. This keeps the audience wondering what will happen. The enigma is
usually revealed by the end of the narrative but not in all cases.
The action code- This suggests that there are events
that still need to come up. This happens until the end.
The semantic code- This involves signs that suggest
or refer to additional meanings. This code is implied through connotations that
things have e.g. a character holding a pen implies the character has already
wrote something or is going to write something.
The symbolic code- This refers to the symbolism
within a text, the symbolic code involves contrasting opposites such as black
and white to show contrast and meaning.
The cultural code- This involves things that refer to
the current cultural or intercultural domain there is often different cultures
and this provides more context and meaning to the text and the way we think about
them.
