1. Narrative theory

2.  Rolan barthes described five codes which can be used into any narrative.

3.  This code refers to any element of the story that is not fully explained and hence
becomes a mystery to the reader.
 The purpose of the author in this is typically to keep the audience guessing,
arresting the enigma, until the final scenes when all is revealed and all loose ends
are tied off and closure is achieved.

4.  This code builds tension, referring to any other action or event that indicates that
something else is going to happen, and which is why gets the viewers guessing as
to what will happen next.
 The hermeneutic and proairetic codes work as a pair to develops the story's
tensions and keep the viewer interested.
 ”Two sequential codes; the revelation of truth and the coordination of the actions
represented: there is the same coordination's of the actions represented: there is
the same constraint in the gradual order of melody and in the equally gradual
order of the narrative sequence.

5.  This code refers to connotation within the story that gives additional meaning
over the basic denotative meaning of the word. It is by the use of extended
meaning that can be applied to words that authors can paint rich pictures with
relatively limited text and the way they do this is a common indication of their
writing skills.

6.  This is very similar to the Semantic Code, but acts at a wider level, organizing
semantic meanings into broader and deeper sets of meaning. This is typically done
in the use of antithesis, where new meaning arises out of opposing and conflict
ideas.

7.  This code refers to anything that is founded on some kind of canonical works that
cannot be challenged and is assumed to be a foundation for truth.
