Metaphors are important language tools that help people understand and interpret meanings. They make ideas clearer, influence how we think, and make writing more creative. In stylistic analysis, metaphors reveal hidden meanings, explain complex ideas in simple ways, and show an author's unique way of using language. This article explains why metaphors matter in stylistic studies, how they are used in different types of writing, and how we can analyze them effectively. By understanding metaphors, we gain insight into how language shapes our thoughts and communication.
