Action/Enigma Codes in Relapse

Applying Barthes theory of Action & Enigma Codes to Relapse:

Action Codes:

  • Dropping the cigarette
  • The Party scenes, him doing drugs
  • He follows girl
  • He sees himself committing the murder
Enigma Codes:
  • Why is he alone in a park at night?
  • Why is he doing the drugs?
  • In what state of mind is he?
  • Where is he walking?
  • Why does he kill the girl?
  • What will happen when he wakes up?
  • What are the consequences?
