This article illustrates the process of narrative hermeneutic interpretation. Narratives could be analyzed and understood as text on different levels of interpretation. Analyzing narrative structure by means of emplotment focuses on how the story is narrated. Further understanding is promoted by analyses of narrative content – what the text talks about – and could be revealed by metaphors used by participants or constructed by the researcher. I will argue in favor of metaphors not only as analytic tools but also as means to communicate findings. Through their ability to make connections between language and body metaphors can facilitate appropriation of new understandings.
