A metaphor that is explained and extended through a poem or a stanza. Usually have different comparisons in different subjects.
Example:
- Her emerald eyes represented the fire in her soul, always looking fierce and strong. Ever since she was a child, her eyes helped her showing other people that she would be a strong and confident woman in the future, she needed no help. But her strong eyes did not only contained her confidence, it also held the color of the clear grass that matched perfectly with the clear blue skies. One moment her eyes will contain the fierceness, the next her eyes contain the love that only a Mother can contain.
Extended metaphor helped the reader to have more ideas of a certain character or a certain scene without thinking critically and making a schema up in their heads. It is also super important because that way, the author could increase the vocabulary list and add up the descriptive words while explaining the character or scene effectively.
