<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the resolution of infidelity conflicts with a sibling-in-law in the play Gojali Suta in Ki Seno Nugroho’s wayang kulit performance using Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic approach. The method employed is descriptive qualitative, with data collected through observation of performance videos and literature review. The results of the study indicate that the infidelity conflict is represented as a complex phenomenon involving individual desires, social norms, and power structures. The conflict unfolds through five stages: the emergence of desire, symbolic legitimization, violation of norms, conflict escalation, and tragic resolution. Each stage contains semiotic signs in the form of symbols, indices, and icons that shape moral meaning within the narrative. The tragic resolution of the conflict underscores that norm violations leave no room for compromise within the Javanese societal value system. Thus, this play serves as a moral warning that an imbalance between desire, norms, and power will lead to destruction, both on an individual and societal level.]]>
