Metaphor is used in literature to create vivid imagery by comparing two unlike things, often to evoke emotions or convey complex ideas. It allows writers to add layers of meaning and symbolism to their writing, enriching the reader's experience and understanding. Metaphors can help readers see familiar things in a new light or make abstract concepts more relatable.
