Abstract

ABSTRACT Poetry as a literary work is an expression of a thought that contains imagination, feeling, and meaning. It is arranged in a lovely and aesthetic language in a rhythmical arrangement. The experience of enjoying a poem could be obtained from listening, reading, and analyzing. Al Aaraaf is a long poetry written by Edgar Allan Poe. Al Aaraaf explicitly, tells about a place between heaven and hell. This research aims to answer the question about (1) How is the condition of the human who was in Al Aaraaf? (2) How is the semiotic analysis of Al Aaraaf poetry by Poe? (3) What is the relation between Al Aaraaf and Quran Sura Al A‟raf? This research uses a qualitative method with a content analysis model. The data was taken from Al Aaraaf while the objects of the research were taken from the words, phrases, clauses, sentences, or terminology indicated as the sign or symbol. The researcher analyzes the data using data condensation, data display and data conclusion/verification by Miles and Huberman. This research used semiotic approach by Ferdinand de Saussure in analyzing signs and symbols from Al Aaraaf. After conducting the research, the researcher found (1) Al Aaraaf a poetry by Edgar Allan Poe only borrows the term Al Aaraaf from Arabic as the basic foundation to build a narrative story in his poetry. (2) Poe used several sources to write his poetry, that is historical events, mythologies, scripture, and nature terminology (biology).
