A SEMIOTIC ANALYSIS OF THE ENOLA HOLMES MOVIE (2020) USING CHARLES SANDERS PEIRCE’S SEMIOTIC THEORY

Abstract

This study aims to identify the forms of icons, indexes, and symbols represented in the Enola Holmes Movie (2020). By employing Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic theory, this research delves into the symbolic universe of the 2020 film. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the researcher meticulously analyzed the film to identify and analyze the forms of icons, indexes, and symbols. Data for this research was collected from the Enola Holmes Movie (2020). The research focused on the icons, indexes, and symbols used in the film. Researchers concluded that the film contained more iconic and indexical signs than symbolic ones. Through this analysis, the research identified a total of twenty icons, twenty indexes, and eleven symbols found in the Enola Holmes Movie (2020). The successful identification and interpretation of such a substantial number of signs (twenty icons, twenty indexes, and eleven symbols) serves as a strong testament to the effectiveness of Peirce's semiotic theory in unlocking the symbolic language of the movie.
