Abstract

Her face (the face of one of the heroines of the novel, Bella Wilfer) signifies "ambitious triumph." First of all, the face is part of a signifying system: what is expressed on a face (the signifiers) are the concepts or feelings (the signifieds) "behind" that face. In Peirce's terms, there is an indexical relation between what is on a face and the feelings or ideas it expresses—that is, what is behind the face is what causes the marks or expressions to appear on the face.
