Metaphor and Simile

A simile is a metaphor but not all metaphors are similes.

A metaphor compares two things directly by stating that one thing is the other (symbolically, not literally)

’All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players;’ W. Shakespeare, As You Like It, Act 2, Scene 7.


A simile is a metaphor that uses “like” or “as” in it, 

“As cunning as a fox” or “My love is like a red, red rose.”
