One of the most famous examples is Marc Antony's speech in the Shakespeare play Julius Ceasar: "Friends, Romans, countrymen - lend me your ears"; he is not literally asking for the loan of people's ears, but rather that they give him their attention and listen as he goes on to "bury Caesar, not to praise him". Another is the reference to 'the Crown' when referring to the king or queen of England.

Metaphor and metonymy are both literary devices used to create comparisons, but they differ in how they make those comparisons. A metaphor directly compares two things by stating that one thing is another, while metonymy substitutes one term with another that is closely related or associated with it. In essence, metaphor is a direct comparison, while metonymy is a substitution based on association.
