A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things by stating that one is the other, rather than using “like” or “as” (which would be a simile). This literary device helps to create vivid imagery and convey deeper meanings by linking familiar concepts to new ideas, allowing readers to understand complex emotions or situations more intuitively. For example, saying “time is a thief” suggests that time can stealthily take away moments from our lives, just as a thief would steal. Metaphors enrich language and enhance our understanding of the world around us! 🌍✨
