Abstract :
Patriarchal society is a male-dominated system in which males are privileged in more than one way while females are often oppressed. The novel Circe by Madeline Miller is a modern retake from a piece of Greek mythology, it takes place in Ancient Greece which notes how far patriarchal system has dated back to. Circe reflects a lot on how females live and are expected to behave in a patriarchal society. Females are not represented enough in media, and Circe is one of the few representations of a strong female character and she brings light into what it takes to survive in a sexist society as a female. Through Roland Barthes?s semiotic approach, the novel will be analysed to unveil myths about patriarchal society and females living in it. Certain signs within the novel have been chosen according to the theme. The meanings of the signs are interpreted through descriptive approach by the writer, and the myths in the signs are explained after that. This novel proves to reflect a lot on how patriarchal society goes against females in more than one way.
