Extended Metaphor

-Like metaphor, extended metaphor is a way people say things without telling them out but continue throughout the stanza

-He is the pointing gun, we are the bullets of his desire.

All the world's a stage and men and women merely players.

Let me count my loves of thee, my rose garden, my heart, my fixed mark, my beginning and my end.

-Extended metaphor makes reader think to find out what the meaning of the poem, tricky always makes people curious and want to read it.
