Metaphor (রূপকালংকার)

  • Definition:
    A metaphor is a direct, implicit comparison between two unlike things without using “like” or “as”. It conveys similarity or symbolic meaning between two different objects, ideas, or concepts.

  • Explanation:

    • যখন কোনো বাক্যে দুটি ভিন্ন বা বিজাতীয় জিনিসের মাঝে পরোক্ষভাবে বা রূপকার্থে তুলনা করা হয়, তাকে Metaphor বলা হয়।

    • সাধারণত, এই তুলনা এমন দুইটি জিনিসের মধ্যে করা হয় যা একই রকম বা সদৃশ নয়, কিন্তু তাদের মধ্যে কোনো সাধারণ মিল বা ভাব থাকে।

  • Examples:

    • “Life is but a walking shadow.”

    • “The world is a stage.”

    • “Revenge is a wild justice.”

    • “He has a heart of stone.”

    • “All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players.”

  • Other related figures of speech:

    • Simile: A comparison using like or as.

    • Personification: Giving human qualities to non-human things.

    • Hyperbole: A figure of speech that exaggerates for effect.
