N2  - Literary works develop in line with the development of culture. The
development of culture on the other hand is always affected by the development
of technology. One of the products of today?s culture and modern technology is
movie. This media presents the literary works in three dimensions; the work itself,
the idea, and the audio- visualization of the idea. Thus, this new media of literary
works is very interesting to be analyzed. The writer in this research analyzes a
romance fantasy movie The Twilight Saga which tells a love story among three
different creatures: vampire, human, and werewolf. The research aims to discover
what vampire and werewolf symbolize romance in the movie, and how the
process of referring the symbols is. The analysis uses objective approach, and
applies semiotics theory by Saussure and Peirce, as well as film theory by
Christian Metz. Saussure?s basic theory is about sign system; sign consists of
signifier and signified that relation is arbitrary. Meanwhile, Peirce?s theory
applied in this research as the comparison to Saussure?s model of sign is his three
divisions of sign: symbolic, iconic, and indexical. As the result of the research, the
writer concludes that the appearance of vampire and werewolf in The Twilight
Saga symbolizes the concept of ?good guy? and ?bad guy?. Further, considering
the plot of the movie, it also symbolizes the concept of ideal spouse. The
mechanism of Bella, the human who prefers the vampire, Edward, to the
werewolf, Jacob, represents the dream of young girls to marry such handsome,
rich, and mature guy as represented by Edward character. Regarding the process
of referring the symbols, applying Saussure?s concept, all process are considered
arbitrary, while applying Pierce?s concept, some are indexical and some are
symbolic.
Key words: The Twilight Saga, symbol, romance, vampire, werewolf.
