what is the meaning of metaphore?how can i know this is metaphor or not?

Question

of mice and men + metaphors

Answer 1

A metaphor compares something to another thing without using the words "like" or "as"; often a book such as "Of Mice And Men" is a metaphor that allows the author to discuss a topic without talking about the topic directly.

Answer 2

a metaphor is a comparison of two unlike objects. Example: A camel is the ship of a desert. What little you have of the quote does not indicate a metaphor to me.

Answer 3

Its a quote. have you heard the quote "She's the Apple of my eye?" In other words, my favorite person. does that help? :)
