Enigma/Hermeneutic codes: We find out during the climax of the
narrative that Ronald is evil.
Therefore throughout the story mystery and suspense is built.
Action codes:
When Ronald pulls out his sword, the audience know that a battle is about to
take place.
Multi strand narrative: It is not a multi strand narrative as there is only one plot
built up in a single episode.
Linear pattern: The story follows a chronological order, beginning, climax and
end (resolution).

Equilibrium:
The narrative begins with an existing state of harmony where Rosetta is looking
forward to her birthday and her half-brother visiting her.
Disequilibrium: Rosetta finds out why her brother left the kingdom, he was evil
and tried to kill her father in order to gain status and become the King. A
dual takes place between Ronald and Andrew the brave knight, when the Kingdom
find that he has returned.
New Equilibrium: Ronald is defeated and never again returns to the Kingdom to
cause harm, the Kingdom live in harmony and peace is restored.
