The research is aimed at finding out symbolic codes used in drama Buried Child and their meanings. It is a research that employs Roland Barthes’ semiotic
approach. The data obtained through reading the play and checking list are analyzed qualitatively using relevant theories.
The symbols used in this play related to things that appeared on the play concerning to nature and the characters. They become symbols due to their
strange usage in every scene such as buckets of corn and carrots, blanket, wooden leg, yellow rose, Bradley’s clippers, the fact that Vince is not recognized by his
family, the fact that the mother leaves in a black dress and arrives in a yellow dress etc.

dysfunction, the lost of identity, sinful sexual affair and hope and concept is optimism in life will always bring out a light or the way out of every problem. At

happiness and harmony particularly in family although they have to pass through several barriers.
