a metaphor is…

• when something in a story is made to stand in for something in real life?

• a figure of speech which equates a thing with something else which has similar qualities?

strongly disagree with preliminary results here

@Lady the furmer is the more interesting device but idk that i’d call it a metaphor

@aescling so when you think people are speaking metaphorically that means they are saying “her smile was a sunrise” a bunch

Follow

@aescling as opposed to “speaking metaphorically” meaning telling an invented story which is made to stand in for something real, which was the first option in the poll
