No, a metaphor is a figure of speech used to compare two unlike things without using the words 'like' or 'as'. What you're thinking of is an oxymoron.
A whisper is like a gentle breeze on a quiet night, softly carrying secrets from ear to ear.
"He runs like the wind" is an example of a metaphor.
A metaphor is a flower. A simile is like (or as) a flower. Both metaphor and simile compare one thing to another. The difference is that a simile uses the words 'like' or 'as', and metaphor doesn't. Metaphor: Life is a fountain. Simile: Life is like a fountain.
"I am a rainbow" is a example of metaphor because it is comparing two nouns, a person, and a rainbow, but does not use like or as. "I am not anger" is an example of metaphor because it is contrasting two nouns.
In simile, you use the words like, as. For example: "She is cute as a puppy."In metaphor, it does not use the words like, as.For example: "He is a pig."So to transform a simile to a metaphor, you should not use the words, like, as in the sentence.For example:Simile- I eat like a pig.Metaphor - I am a pig.Hope this helps.
This is an example of metaphor because it is a comparison between two unlike things (dazzling footwork and impressing others) without using "like" or "as."

"He is a shining star in our company" is an example of an indirect metaphor, where the person is compared to a star without using "like" or "as" to make the comparison explicit.
No. A metaphor is a form of comparison but not using the words like or as, unlike similes. An example of a metaphor is, "My lamp the sun in the darkness of my room."
Yes, "Fame is a bee" is an example of a metaphor, as it is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable, in this case comparing fame to a bee.
it is a metaphor because a simile must have 'as' or 'like' in it whereas a metaphor is something that's not literal and is normally when something stands for another thing
A metaphor is used to emphasize the qualities of something by saying they are like another. For example, "Her face is like the sun." That emphasizes how bright her face is by saying it was like the sun.
