Polysemy

Roland Bathes said texts were either 'open' or 'closed'.

He suggested none were fully one or the other (as there is always room for interpretation), however some texts attempt to restrict their meaning more than others

Some texts encourage polysemy (multiple meanings) and are open texts

Some texts discourage polysemy and are closed texts














This is a closed text as it uses words in the picture for a national interest in reference to Donald Trump. Also there is a slight fade of blue in the picture which is one of the main colors of his party, The republican party. Meanwhile the picture shows Trump standing there tall and looking cons ident and emoting with his hands.
