Direct Metaphor: a direct comparison between two unlikely things

Example of director metaphor from the play:

Act 2 Scene 2 Romeo says "Juliet is the sun"

Implied Metaphor: an indirect or subtle comparison between two things: it gives the subject the characteristic of the object it is being

Example of implied metaphor from the play:

Act 1 Scene 5 "She doth teaches the torches to burn bright"

Extended Metaphor: a metaphor that is extended throughout a speech, a passage, or throughout an entire story, novel, or play. It is longer than one line.

Example: In Hamlet, the garden that Hamlet speaks about in his first soliloquy is an extended metaphor

PLOT OUTLINE

Exposition: Act 1 Scene 1,2,3, and most of 4

Inciting Event: the boat metaphor

Rising Action: when Romeo first meets and kisses Juliet
