Figurative language: Metaphor. This lesson is a part of a unit on poetry and figurative language. It is designed to teach students the characteristics of metaphor within the context of poetry.
Figurative language is a term used to describe an author's use of language to extend meaning. This is achieved by deviating from the literal meaning of words or by deviating from the usual arrangement of words. Technically, figurative language falls into two groups: figures of speech and rhetorical devices; however, usually the term figures of speech and figurative language are used interchangeably.
