What is metaphor?

Answer 1

A verbal metaphor is a literary technique that produces imagery and can make a reader feel or see the metaphor through spoken word. An example is when Romeo declares "Juliet is the sun" in the play "Romeo and Juliet".

Answer 2

theres 2 different kinds, language and visual mainly, but maybe even audio? im not sure. but language metaphors are to do with high level concepts, but the thing im into is artistic visual metaphors, an example is a dryad, a tree that looks like a female. they pop up randomly all throughout walking through a forest, or even around town, some only appearing at a specific vantage point in a specific direction, and a sculpture metaphor may look correct from a lot of different views. they resemble a hybrid of 2 things, the tree representing a woman, to some random degree of accuracy, and can even be 2 things looked from 2 different vantage points. I would like to think they would be good educational material for imaginative illustrators who develop pictures from no reference, just out of the head, they show brilliant representation of character and naturality, often not achieved by the beginner artist, and fashioning your art style around them could be a fairly large leap from robotic amature representations, due to their random nature and simplicity. ive talked too much, but they are my favorite thing and probably the secret to the best visual art possible to make. english or language metaphors are important too, but language wasnt my favorite subject, but probably create entertaining scripts for movies, probably pixar make use of them in stories a lot.

Answer 3

A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things by stating that one thing is another. It is used to create a vivid image or show a similarity between the two objects.
