Abstract

Introduction. This article analyzes the genre of fantasy and its peculiarities in THE NOVEL "THE LORD OF THE RINGS" by J.R.R. Tolkien. Modern literature is replete with works in the genre of fantasy. The twentieth century gave birth to an abundance of genre varieties of fantasy, far removed from the classic works of the last century. In the second half of the century, such kind of works written by different authors became most actively developing. It can be argued that fantasy is a genre of its own. Research methods. Fantasy works have been among the most popular in modern literature for a long time. There are many reasons for the widespread interest in these works. In this genre, the multilingual consciousness of the modern novel manifests itself (in the terms of M.M. Bakhtin): the secondary world is built from elements of the culture of various people, and its characteristic feature is an emphasized multinationality, which also requires linguistic wealth. It is impossible to deny the closest connection between language and culture, the metaphor "language is a mirror of culture" perfectly reflects their interdependence [Kocher, 1972]. Results and discussions.
