Author(s) Amna Minhas

Abstract Thesis Title: The Semiotic Analysis of the Novel “The Three Musketeers” and its Cinematic Adaptation. The thesis semiotically analyzes the iconic novel “The Three Musketeers” written by Alexandre Dumas with the aim of determining the use of different signs in the dissemination of specific messages to a given audience. The meanings of these signs used in the novels are then compared to those used in the film. This comparison offers a very interesting analysis of the use of signs in different media to produce the same impression for their audience. At the same time, this analysis will provide critics and researchers with a guide to compare the original work and its adaptation. Peirce's theory of signs was used as an investigative tool to understand the construction of meaning through words in the novel and visual signs in the film. The data for this research study are collected through a “stratified and intentional sampling” which at the same time ensures comprehensive coverage of the novel and film and allows the researcher to choose certain elements narratives, characters, settings and motifs in both media. By analyzing the signs and their signified in the two media as the main subject of this study, the researcher discovered some very interesting cultural contrasts providing researchers and academics with frameworks and perspectives to explore the complex dynamics between literature and cinema. Keywords: Adaptations, semiotics, cinema, novel, The Three Musketeers
