Metaphor- A Metaphor is a figure of speech concisely comparing two things, saying that one is the other.
Example- Juliet is the sun.
Explanation- The metaphor is used to describe Juliet, and how important she is to Romeo. Like the sun, if she was gone Romeo could not survive. The use of this device creates a better sense of how much Romeo truly cares about his lover. If it had just said i love Juliet, the text would have been boring and wouldn't have drawn the reader in so well.
