Defenition
of metaphor
Metaphor is a figure of
speech which makes an implicit, implied or hidden comparison between two things
that are unrelated but share some common characteristics. In other words, a
resemblance of two contradictory or different objects is made based on a single
or some common characteristics.
Examples of Metaphors
- My brother was boiling mad. (This implies he was too angry.)
- The assignment was a breeze. (This implies that the assignment was not difficult.)
- It is going to be clear skies from now on. (This implies that clear skies are not a threat and life is going to be without hardships)
- The skies of his future began to darken. (Darkness is a threat; therefore, this implies that the coming times are going to be hard for him.)
- Her voice is music to his ears. (This implies that her voice makes him feel happy)
Using
appropriate metaphors appeals directly to the senses of listeners or readers,
sharpening their imaginations to comprehend what is being communicated to them.
Moreover, it gives a life-like quality to our conversations and to the
characters of the fiction or poetry. Metaphors are also ways of thinking,
offering the listeners and the readers fresh ways of examining ideas and
viewing the world.
