What is a Metaphor?

Don't forget to visit our webpage for more info and quotes  www.spanishizer.com  /  info@spanishizer.com A  metaphor  is a  figure of speech  that, for rhetorical effect, directly refers to one thing by mentioning another. [1]  It may provide clarity or identify hidden similarities between two ideas.  Antithesis ,  hyperbole ,  metonymy  and  simile  are all types of metaphor.
