METAPHOR
DEFINISI METAPHOR
Metaphor is figure of
speech which makes an implicit,implied or hidden comparison between two things
that are unrelated but share some common characteristic. Methaphors, like many
other figures of speech,are common in every day conversation.in methaphor, the
comparison is drawn between two dissimilar things.The comparison used in
metaphor is direct one, even though it’s not always so.
Furthermore, a metaphor develops a comparison
which is different from a simile i.e. we do not use “like” or “as” to develop a
comparison in a metaphor. It actually makes an implicit or hidden comparison
and not an explicit one. Metaphors are sometimes constructed through our common
language. They are called conventional metaphors.
Below are some more conventional metaphors we
often hear in our daily life:
1.
My brother was boiling mad. (This
implies he was too angry.)
2.
The assignment was a breeze. (This
implies that the assignment was not difficult.)
3.
It is going to be clear skies from now
on. (This implies that clear skies are not a threat and life is going to be
without hardships)
4.
The skies of his future began to darken.
(Darkness is a threat; therefore, this implies that the coming times are going
to be hard for him.)
5.
Her voice is music to his ears. (This
implies that her voice makes him feel happy) Examples of Metaphor from Common
