Roland Barthes' S/Z provides an in-depth, perhaps over-analyzed, structural literary study of the Balzac short story "Sarrasine" (which I have reviewed separately; the Balzac story can also found in Appendix 1 of S/Z). Influenced by the work of Saussure and Freud, Barthes (like many a critic and academic) finds perhaps more in Balzac than Balzac had ever intended, taking each line and matching it with one or more of five literary/cultural codes. The following are the codes identified by Roland Barthes in his breakthrough Post-Structuralist text, S/Z. 1. Proairetic code (the voice of empirics): The code of actions. Any action initiated must be completed. The cumulative actions constitute the plot events of the text. 2. Hermeneutic code (the voice of truth): The code of enigmas or puzzles.
