The paper deals with the study of Tolkien’s works, which are unique pieces of fantasy genre and creative art. Tolkien’s works are flavoured with imagination and aesthetic elements which serve as a multilayer subject of analysis in the present paper, thus transferring the reader an extraordinary literary intention of morality, divinity and love. Through the light of hermeneutic analysis the symbolic images are revealed which underline Tolkien’s imaginative style and language, and the quintessential intention – to create an English mythological novel.
