This study explores the concept of love as depicted in Anis Mansour's poetry anthology Qālū, through the lens of Robert Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love. A Peircean semiotic framework is employed as a primary analytical tool to uncover the various representations of love and the associated conflicts within the anthology. The research utilizes a descriptive-qualitative method, focusing on the phenomena presented in literary works. Data collection involves a thorough reading of the Qālū poetry anthology, from which specific verses related to the concept of love are selected for analysis. The data interpretation process is grounded in comprehensive analysis and supported by relevant sources. The findings reveal that the poetry anthology conveys several dimensions of love, including infatuation, empty love, romantic love, companionate love, fatuous love, and consummate love. Notably, consummate love, or "perfect love," emerges as the predominant theme. This suggests that the anthology primarily reflects the author's aspirations and idealized notions of perfect love, often disregarding obstacles or challenges that might interfere.
