Summary/Abstract: This article presents a detailed analysis of Et’hem Haxhiademi’s tragedy Skanderbeg from a semiolinguistic perspective. The analysis focuses on the tragedy’s unique construction of Albanian national identity, heroic symbolism, and collective memory. It explores the ways Haxhiademi integrates classical and neoclassical poetics to craft a drama deeply rooted in both historical context and Albanian cultural heritage. This analysis of Skanderbeg is a tribute to Albanian resilience and a critical engagement with the literary and political frameworks shaping Albanian national consciousness.
