Title A name given to the resource Relevance of Symbols in Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist Subject The topic of the resource Paulo Coelho; relevance; semiotics; symbols; The Alchemist Description An account of the resource Brazilian author, Paulo Coelho is known for his tales that inspire readers to overcome conflicts and move toward the 'ultimate truth'. The popularity of such inspirational writings (both fictional and non-fictional) in the new age has given rise to a new literature style. Coelho's fiction, though inspirational, describes journeys that are physical and psychological at the same time. Symbols guide him in his journeys, forming a significant part of the novels. While these novels are said to appear inspirational for depressed souls with a profound philosophical and spiritual dilemma, the study of symbols found in these novels appears significant. This research aims to read closely the novel The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and evaluate the symbols in it. The research shall attribute the commonly accepted meanings to the symbols and assess the impact of such 'accepted' meanings on the same novel through Peirce's model of semiotic analysis. 2022 Aesthetics Media Services.
