| dc.description.abstract | In the process of writing this thesis, the problem is addressed onto the reveals of
the meaning on marlin, sea, shark, skeleton, bird and lion symbol in the novel. The scope
in this study is about the revelation meaning of its symbol through the information inside
the novel. In order to get an easier way to analyze the symbol, semiotics is the most
appropriate theory to use. For getting the best result of this research, the method to use in
this novel is qualitative and inductivemethod since the research uses description and it is
begun from analyzing the specific to the general one, while the supported data are taken
from the library research. The goal of writing this thesis is to discover the meaning of
selected symbol in the novel. The analysis begins with the Peirce‟s triadic of sign
implemented on the selected symbol, then I classify the information I collect from the
novel, then the meaning of each symbol was concluded. Marlin is the representamen, and
then I discovered some information about marlin and classified it as hard to catch,
suffering, pride and happiness inside the novel. Based on these, I concluded that marlin is
a struggle of life. The rest, other symbols reveal different meaning. The validity of
classified information is supported by the quotation found in the novel. The end of the
discussion in this thesis is offering back to the readers what they should believe having
read the novel and this writing, since the data given are mostly fair from the related literal
source. | en_US |
