A Narrative-Semiotic Reading of The Maqama of Eid

The semiotic method is one of the most important methods that approach heritage texts, approaches that enabled researchers to reread and interpret new interpretation. This article deals with the analysis of the Maqama {old type of story} of Eid by Ibn Morabea Al Azdi, a semiotic analysis that reveals the hidden relationships and the deep structure, but this does not mean that the meaning is final, because the text according to the semiotic method remains open. We concluded that this maqama is a reflection of a set of values, behaviors or ideology, and its deep structure reveals the desire for wealth, through the counterparts of poverty and wealth, support and compliance.
