Metaphore

A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes one thing by stating it is another, to highlight similarities and create a vivid or insightful image. It helps us understand complex or abstract ideas by relating them to familiar concepts. For example, saying "time is a thief" suggests time steals moments from our lives, even though time isn’t literally stealing. Metaphors are used in language, literature, and everyday speech to convey meaning more powerfully and encourage deeper understanding by drawing imaginative connections.
