Abstract
The study of signs and symbols is known as semiotics, and the understanding of a literary work's main axes is one of structuralism's most significant objectives in the modern period. Increased comprehension of a book results from comprehending its signs; Therefore, various theories have been presented by structuralists about semiotics and reaching its meaning. Using the structure of Propp's semiotic theory, Grimas was able to create the actor model, in order to express the cause and effect of a sign and action by means of it and realize the actionability of a work. The novel " Adrakha Al-Nassian " by "Sana Al Shaalan" is one of the novels of the contemporary period, in which the author uses postmodernist literary techniques to build a love story with numerous characters while also paying attention to social, geographic,religious,romantic, and narrative themes.The action of the story revolves around two main characters, namely "Baha" and "Zahak".The narration of this novel is entrusted to many characters, each of them has different actions. Using the descriptive-analytical method and the semiotic approach of Grimas, this essay seeks to analyze the semiotic square while introducing the actions of different characters.The obtained results show that the author has used active, receiver, sender, hinder and helper actors. Also, characters like " Zahak ", "Timullah-Al-Jaziri" and "Wafa Zaib"have an active role, and the character "Barbara" has an active role. Also, the semiotic square of Grimas leads the audience's mind to concepts such as innocence, the function of forgetting,rebirth and salvation.
