Is a metaphor an exaggeration?

In general a metaphor is just a way to think about a subject from a different angle, or to find a vivid way of expressing some idea, however, metaphor is often an exaggeration. If you say, for example, that some obese person is a whale, that is a metaphor and also an exaggeration since even the most obese person does not weigh as much as a whale.

Is metaphor difficult to identify?

Metaphor is a type of figures of speech. It's like a comparison to simile. Simile is easier to identify and it's often used "like" or "as". In metaphor, "like" or "as" isn't being used, so metaphors may sound a bit vague. In metaphor, you need to think really deeply and find out something that is not this thing and it's other thing. It can be confusing or it can sound nonsense. Metaphors are difficult to identify.
