Question

Paragraph #2: The quotation is an example of a metaphor. Explain why.

"I trust that none will stretch the seams in putting on the coat, for it may do good service to him whom it fits."

Answer 1

This quote can be considered a metaphor because it is comparing two things.

In this case, the metaphor compares the coat which should be a "perfect fit", it might be inferred that it does a reference to another specific situation. this is when a person is involved in something that is considered perfect so it is not right for him/her, one must make it "fit" in life.
