<h3>Difference between Metaphor and Idiom</h3>
A metaphor is merely a comparison between one object and another. While an idiom is a statement or phrase that is used to describe a certain scenario, a metaphor is an indirect comparison that serves the same purpose but is used to explain something different. A simile, on the other hand, is a direct comparison.
