What is a metaphor
English
ScanSolve AI Answer
A metaphor is a figure of speech that directly compares two unlike things without using "like" or "as." It states that one thing is another, creating a vivid image or idea. For example, "The world is a stage" is a metaphor, comparing the world to a stage to suggest life is a performance.
