Analisis Struktur dan Makna Simbolik Geguritan Lebur Corah: Kajian Strukturalisme Semiotik

This study aims to analyze the intrinsic structure and symbolic meanings of Geguritan Lebur Corah. It employs a descriptive qualitative approach through literature review and content analysis. The data consist of the text of Geguritan Lebur Corah, analyzed using Nurgiyantoro’s structural theory and Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic theory. The structural analysis covers eight aspects: theme, plot, characters, characterization, setting, point of view, figurative language, and moral message. The semiotic analysis examines the triadic relationship between sign (representamen), object (referent), and interpretant (meaning). The findings reveal that the intrinsic elements form a unified narrative centered on the human journey in facing suffering, anger, and the search for life’s meaning. The conflict develops from Detya Basamana’s death, Wiruwadana’s search for his origins, and his desire for revenge against Bima, culminating in the delivery of spiritual teachings. The semiotic analysis identifies Detya Sugini as a symbol of perseverance and the continuity of life; Wiruwadana as a representation of self-discovery and emotional struggle; the forest as a symbol of alienation and self-formation; Bima as a representation of strength and conflict; BudhaLoka as a symbol of spirituality and wisdom; and moksha as spiritual liberation from worldly attachments. This study concludes that Geguritan Lebur Corah contains an interconnected narrative structure and profound moral, philosophical, and spiritual values, particularly regarding self-control, letting go of revenge, and attaining spiritual awareness
