Abstract

This research discusses the meaning of conspiracy signs in the novel A Case of Exploding Mangoes, written by Mohammad Hanif. This novel shows how conspiracies are formed due to the actions of unjust leaders. The problem found in this novel is how each character’s speech reveals the signs of conspiracy. The analysis of conspiracy in this novel is conducted using qualitative methods, as it deals with information that reveals the meaning of conspiracy in the novel. By reading the book and collecting data on the interpretation of conspiracy signs through the expressions of selected characters provided by the source text itself, this research provides factual data on conspiracy analysis in semiotic theory that does not deal with personal and external interpretations. This research reveals that their environment influences conspiracy signs in the character's speech. Here, it is found that Ali Shigri believes Zia has conspired against his people, especially his father. However, he refused to be accused of being involved in a conspiracy to sabotage Zia's plane. General Zia interprets conspiracy as an enemy trying to overthrow him. The selected secondary characters imply a sign of conspiracy because they are connected to General Zia, such as the First Lady and Brigadier TM. Furthermore, Arnold Raphael interpreted conspiracy as the condition of Islamabad because he feared that the city of Islamabad was being controlled by the elite. Lastly, although the researcher found numerous different interpretations from each character, the meaning of conspiracy here is formed because of the work of General Zia as a fraudulent leader who is more concerned with protecting himself during his tenure than the unrest of his people.
