Enigma Codes

Enigma codes pose questions to the audience which are then answered shortly after or later on in the film. Enigma codes start off towards the very beginning of the film this is a great technique as it entices the audience and keeps them intrigued throughout the whole film instead of giving it away straight away.

Example: Fight Club

Who is Tyler Durden?

Jack - This is possibly the name of the unnamed protagonist. He was once a slave of capitalism but was aware and suffered from insomnia because of it. Upon realising this, he formed an alternate personality and alter ego called Tyler Durden in older to live a more primitive and unpredictable life. What triggered this was likely his encounter with Marla whose philosophy about life was that she could die any time. "Like so many others I have become a slave" referring to slave of capitalism and conforming to pointless consumerist demands.) 
Tyler Durden - Our unnamed protagonists alter ego and alternate personality. Tyler Durden represented everything Jack wasn't, a non conformer to the dominant ideologies of society and primitive in form. He guides the protagonist who imagines his presence on the path of enlightenment or rather to a primitive state of mind and for his ambitions. At the films resolution we partially believe both personalities must have fused together. Tyler is charismatic, physically capable and has no fear which is what was needed for Jack's hidden agenda to be achieved. "The things you own end up owning you."
