Abstract
The current paper aims to explore the manifestation of Roland Barthes’s Five Codes in the novella Another Gulmohar Tree by Aamer Hussein. The analysis of the novella is qualitative, and the theoretical framework of Five Codes by Roland Barthes is applied. Moreover, the methodology of Textual analysis by Alan Mckee is opted for the analysis of the text. The study results showed that all five codes, which are hermeneutic, proairetic, semantic, symbolic, and cultural codes, are present in the text. As a result, the codes play a role in enhancing the effect of the structural knitting of the novella. This research also features important writing techniques of Barthes to overcome the issue of ill-structured short stories. In the end, the study highlights Aamer Hussein's talent in creating a novella that contains important ideas and themes.
