Metaphors are a powerful literary tool that can help writers convey complex ideas and emotions in a memorable and impactful way. For example, in William Golding's "Lord of the Flies," the conch shell serves as a metaphor for democracy and order, while the "beast" that the boys fear represents the darkness within human nature. Metaphors can also be used to create vivid imagery and sensory experiences, as in Pablo Neruda's poem "Ode to a Large Tuna in the Market," which compares the fish to a "bullet from the ocean depths."
