Shakespere was great at writing metaphors.
"All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players."
"Come, thick night,
And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of Hell."
"What's the matter, you dissentious rogues,
That, rubbing the poor itch of your opinion,
Make yourselves scabs?"

Are there Metaphor examples?

Yes, there are many metaphor examples (or examples of metaphors). Reminder: a "metaphor" is a description that uses comparison WITHOUT the words "like" or "as." (When you use "like" or "as," it is a simile.)So, if you were to compare the sound of an annoying person's voice to that of a parrot, here would be that metaphor example:"The professor was a wild parrot, squawking out wild philosophies, his high pitched voice spewing out strange thoughts and ordering lengthy homework assignments."If you were to compare a woman's pale, white face to a blank sheet of paper, here would be the resulting metaphor:"Her face was a sheet of blank white paper, punctuated only by the dots of her eyes and nose, and a thin red line of a mouth."Think of colors, sounds, textures, shapes, and smells when trying to create a fresh metaphor. With a little thought, I'm sure you can come up with some new metaphor examples of your own.


How do you find examples of metaphor?
