Data was obtained through the technique of reading and noting. The research instrument is the researcher themselves (human instrument). The validity of the data was obtained through semantic validity. The reliability used is intrarater and interrater reliability. The results of the study indicate that there are five semiotic codes of Roland Barthes and their meanings in the fairy tale "Vom Fischer und seiner Frau" as follows: (1) the hermeneutic code consists of puzzles in the form of questions and answers (revealing the characterization of the fisherman, the fisherman's wife, and the Butt), (2) the semic code involves connotations of the setting, characters and characterization, as well as moral messages (connotations of changing seawater depicting certain atmospheres, connotations of certain elements depicting the characterization of the fisherman and his wife, and connotations of the use of elements in determining moral messages), (3) the symbolic code symbolizes the main theme of the story (greed and simplicity), (4) the proairetic code signifies the consequences of actions that then form the plot (the fisherman's wife's ingratitude leads to the fisherman's loss of patience, and karma), and (5) the cultural code signifies the mythological culture in society, language use, and ethical culture (appealing to mythological creatures, use of hyperbolic language, and the importance of being grateful).]]>
