Everyday objects are the basis of many exquisite similes and metaphors in Persian literature, many of which are less well known in the modern world and this leads us to fail to grasp the proper aesthetic of their reception in literary texts. The present study assumes that a criterion can be reached by reconstructing the expectation horizon for the aesthetics of everyday objects in literary texts. Now, in a brief explanation of this approach, the horizon of expectation in Hans Robert Jauss's perspective is a measure that readers use to judge, evaluate, and interpret literary texts of age and believes that it can be reconstructed with a three-step instruction. In this research, to test the effectiveness of this method, the expectation horizon of two illuminated light containers in Persian literature (Qandil and Lantern) was reconstructed.Thus, in the first two stages, based on literary texts, specimens in museums, or their images in some paintings, they recognized the real expectations of the people who appeared in the form of metaphors and similes, and in the third stage. By comparing the actual expectations of these dishes with their imaginative and creative reception in the literary texts, their aesthetic analysis in the literary texts was investigated. The result of these reconstructions shows that this method can achieve a better aesthetic interpretation than the everyday objects in literary texts.
