Using Metaphors – Novelists and Screenwriters

Act II

As with subtext, another tool a novelist or screenwriter should consider is the implementation of metaphors. What is a metaphor? There is an over-abundance of them found in the Bible. For example, look at the 23rd Psalm.
“The LORD is my shepherd…”
Is God literally a shepherd? Are we really sheep? (Sometimes I’m as dumb as a sheep, but that doesn’t make me a sheep.) In this class, we’ll learn how metaphors can elevate our writing.

* I’ll include examples of metaphors from movies and novels as well.
