Definition. An extended metaphor is a comparison between two unlike things that continues throughout a series of sentences in a paragraph or lines in a poem. Also known as a conceit or a megametaphor. Extended metaphor is a common literary device, particularly in poetry.
Figurative language is describing one thing in terms of another. A metaphor is a type of figurative language that compares two things by asserting one thing is another. Metaphors are used to make clearer descriptions and provide better understanding to the reader. However, an implied metaphor is a metaphor that doesn't explicitly state the comparison.
