A key reason to include metaphors in a literary work is to create new and surprising comparisons and deepen understanding.

The literary device metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn’t literally true, but it is implemented in order to explain an idea or draw a comparison. A metaphor states that one thing is another thing. Some color is added in a poem or literary work by the use of metaphors.
