A metaphor is a comparison between two things that states one thing is another in order to help explain an idea or show hidden similarities. Unlike a simile that uses "like" or "as" (you shine like the sun!), a metaphor does not use these two words. For example, in a famous line from Romeo and Juliet, Romeo proclaims, "Juliet is the sun."
