Texts operate through the creation of a series of mysteries/questions raised - enigma codes.
Readers respond by looking for solutions.
Enigma codes can be used to encourage greater engagement with a text or to get us to 'buy for answers'.
- Hermeneutic code: story not fully explained, full truth avoided, keeps audience guessing till final scene when all is revealed.
-Proairetic code: action/event that indicates something else is going to happen. By witnessing this, audience can say what character will do/what will happen next.
