The term extended metaphor refers to a comparison between two unlike things that continues throughout a series of sentences in a paragraph or lines in a poem.
An example of an extended metaphor I chose was from Shakespeare's play "As You Like It"
All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts.”
In the metaphor above, Shakespeare has compared the world to a stage.
