Movie “Berbagi Suami” depicts this situation. It seems to illustrating that polygamy raises some problems for woman within the domestic life especially within man-woman relations contexts. Starting point from this view, this is to analyze the “Berbagi Suami” Movie by applying the Barthes’s semiology. By Barthes’s method, “Berbagi Suami” movie was scrutinized into two level of analysis. The results was found that Berbagi Suami Movie echoed the voice of critism through woman perspectives albeit not completely. This film also principally brought polygamy into discourse to audience and let them to judge the discourse.
