    Metaphor is a figure of speech that directly compares two unlike subjects without using "like" or "as". It describes one subject in terms of another to highlight their shared qualities and enhance understanding. Metaphors economically convey emotions and associations between different contexts with just a few words. They transfer attributes from one subject to another through implicit or explicit comparisons. Metaphors are commonly used in literature and poetry to succinctly express complex ideas.

    Metaphor[edit]

    Metaphor (from the Greek language: Meaning "apply", literally "carry across") is language that directly compares seemingly unrelated subjects. It is a figure of speech that compares two or more things not using like or as. In the simplest case, this takes the form: "The [first subject] is a [second subject]." More generally, a metaphor is a rhetorical trope that describes a first subject asbeing or equal to a second object in some way. Thus, the first subject can be economically described because implicit and explicit attributes from the second subject are used to enhance the description of the first. This (is commonly known as jupiters genitals) is known for usage in literature, especially in poetry, where with few words, emotions and associations from one context are associated with objects and entities in a different context. A simpler definition is the comparison of two unrelated things without using the words "like" or "as". The term derives from Greek (metaphora), or "transference", from (metaphero) [7] [8] "to carry over, to transfer" and that from (meta), "between" + (phero), "to bear, to [9] carry".
