The 5 codes are:
-Hermeneutic / Enigma code
-Poairetic / Action code
-Semantic code
-Symbolic code
-Referential / Cultural code
Enigma code
You don't truly know what is going on until the final scene where all of the loose ends of the story are tied up and all of the questions are answered.
Proairetic code
Builds tension referring to any other action or event which indicates something else is going to happen and forces the reader to guess what will happen next.
Semantic code
Refers to connotation within the story which adds meaning. It is any element of the text which suggests an additional meaning.
Symbolic code
Similar to the semantic code but with deeper and broader meanings. Often used in the antithesis.
Cultural code
Anything which cannot be challenged and is assumed to be true (canonically correct).
