Abstract
Aim: The present paper seeks to show how monotheistic teachings are reflected in Prophet Joseph TV Series.
Method: Using Peirce's Semiotics and considering monotheistic components from Allamah Tabatabaii's view, the paper reviews how monotheism teaching has been reflected in Prophet Joseph TV Series.
Findings: The sequences of the Series including monotheistic components, such as the sequences of Prophets Jacob and Joseph's struggle with pontiffs, relation with Unseen world, affliction, and those dealing with love and courtesy of presence as well as elements like scene, stage equipment, lighting, camera, actor, voices, dialogs, music, and compositions that together have portrayed a monotheistic flow have been considered and their implications have been identified. Using semiotics, the implications of these sequences and elements to show the reflection of the monotheistic fact have been explained, and it has been shown that these signs can reflect monotheism through interacting as a chain.
Conclusion: In Prophet Joseph TV Series, monotheism has been reflected in monotheistic components, love, courtesy, helping others, patience in afflictions, conflict between the truth and falsehood, prayer, supplication, and relation with Unseen world. The Series is successful in some cases but has some deficiencies in connecting the content to the origin in other cases.
