What is a metaphor?

2. A thing regarded as representative or symbolic of something else, especially something abstract.
Creative Metaphors
"The ground of appropriateness for a new insight provided by a creative metaphor--the compelling condition of the new similarity, what suggests that it 'fits'--cannot be restricted to a complex of established perspectives. For it is this complex, or some part of it, that is challenged by the new insight." (Burridge, 2005)
Visual Metaphors
