The song "A Whole New World" from the Disney movie "Aladdin" contains an extended metaphor that compares the experience of exploring new places and experiences to flying on a magic carpet. The magic carpet symbolizes freedom and limitless opportunities, making it a powerful image in the song.
The extended metaphor is used throughout the song, with lines such as "I can show you the world, shining, shimmering splendid, tell me, princess, now when did you last let your heart decide?" and "A whole new world, a new fantastic point of view, no one to tell us no, or where to go, or say we're only dreaming."
These lines suggest that the magic carpet is not only a mode of transportation but also a symbol of freedom and limitless possibilities.
