Tolkien could potentially lead Swedish readers to emotional experiences of wonder while reading these stories. This is achieved by conducting an analysis of metaphors on select excerpts from these books – more specifically from the translated Swedish edition of 1992. The result of this analysis is then interpreted and discussed using the emotional state of wonder as a theoretical framework. The study shows that the writing language of Tolkien does feature several metaphors that could possibly relate to both reader emotions and experiences related to wonder. The findings also suggest that Tolkien’s language displays a mythical quality, possibly influenced by his personal interests and life experiences. The study therefore also suggests that this mythical quality could potentially play into the emotional experiences of Swedish readers.
