The purpose of this paper is to present the results of an investigation which employed a discourse analysis’ model to analyze the translations into Spanish and French of a literary work (The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien (1892- 1973) in order to show the advantages of using such a model and to demonstrate how such a model can helps both the analysis of the source and target texts and the translation process. Halliday’s discourse analysis model was used as proposed by Hatim and Mason with its three metafunctions (ideational, interpersonal and textual) and taking into account semantic, morphological, syntactic, textual and pragmatic elements. The final aim of this article is to show that a translation-oriented source text analysis using a discourse analysis model or any other linguistic-derived model can be used as an analytical tool to achieve an in-depth understanding of literary texts, since it heightens the literary translators’ awareness of its characteristics, enhances their reflective process and help them select the best alternatives to reproduce the complex world of the source text with all its details, which, in turn, will help the readers of the target text understand the world created by the author.
