This thesis first applies Hewson’s (2011) literary translation criticism framework to extracts from Paradise Lost (Milton & Lewalski, 2007) translated from English into Arabic by Mohamed Anānī (2009) and Hanna ‘Aboud (2011). This thesis also analyzes neutral translation, domestication, and foreignization in the Arabic renditions. Research results reveal the translators’ tendency towards narrative hybridity and interpretational metamorphosis, which characterizes their renditions by relative divergence. ‘Anānī's writing style is more explanatory and idiomatic than ‘Aboud's, which infers the former's lower visibility, and higher creativity and subjectivity. Both Standard Arabic versions prove to moderately foreignize, strongly and moderately domesticate, and neutrally translate Paradise Lost. The study findings disconfirm previous research claim about Anānī’s changing of Paradise Lost interpretation through adaptation to the target language and culture. Second, this thesis analyzes the translation of metaphors conceptualizing God, sin, and salvation, such as GOD IS THE SON, REPERCUSSION OF SINNING IS DEATH, and SALVATION IS RESCUING FROM DEATH, in Standard Arabic and the Tunisian dialect. Metaphorical analysis shows conceptual similarity between Standard Arabic and the Tunisian dialect, confirms ‘Anānī’s higher accretion than ‘Aboud’s, and reveals strong conceptual domestication through omissions, reduction, and contraction in the three Tunisian translations, along with strong lexico-semantic foreignizations and reductions through inadequate borrowings only in translations 1 and 2. Third, metaphorical reception in the Tunisian dialect is assessed. In a questionnaire-based survey involving 20 Tunisian participants, heterogeneous results are obtained in relation to participants’ comprehension, usability, and acceptability of metaphors.
