Abstract

The aim of the present research is to examine the fairytale “The King's New Clothes” by the Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875), from the point of view of French Semiotics, also called Greimasian Semiotics. It is the analysis of the generative course of meaning, in which the three instances or levels of content plan of this narrative will be examined for the purpose of seizing the effects of modal and passional meanings which emanate from the relationships among individuals and between individuals and objects-value. Therefore, modal and passional values at stake in the narrative will be discussed here in the fundamental, narrative and discursive levels.
