چکیده:
The present study is an attempt to analyze the characters in the novel Blindness and its cinematic adapta-tion from intersemiotic viewpoint. To this end, the researchers provided a synthesized model, which is a combination of Bernando (2012) and Forster's (1927) classification of characters in order to analyze the two main characters from intersemiotic viewpoint. Considering the difference between a uni-sign system's tools, which is the novel and a multi-sign system's tools, which is the movie, the results of this research showed that the filmmaker could reflect the representative signs of the novel characters in the movie characters properly by means of cinematic techniques; therefore, he was able to be loyal to create the characters described by the author.
