Title:Eminem ft. Rihanna - Love The Way You Lie.
Genre:Performance And Narrative (Hip-Hop, Rap)
Barthes Code: Symbolic Code.
Textual Example: Throughout this video we see certain elements coming together reflecting a symbolic code such as the conflict between the opposing forces (woman and male). The woman seen as the protagonist being almost bullied by the male seen as the antagonist within their unhealthy violent relationship although the it becomes apparent later on in the video (during the chorus) that the woman enjoys how the male treats her as she becomes intimate within him whilst the lyrics "Just gonna stand there and watch me burn, but that alright because i like the way it hurts" play, however still enduring that constant conflict and betrayal.
