The main character, Forrest Gump, quotes his mother: “Life is like a box of chocolates. One of the movie’s themes is based on a comparison between life and a box of chocolates. Similes feature either like or as in making a comparison.Ī good example to distinguish between these two literary devices comes from the movie adaptation of the novel Forrest Gump by Winston Groom. However, they are distinguished by the presence of one of two words: “like” and “as.” Metaphors create direct comparisons without using either of these words. Both are figures of speech designed to create comparisons.
It can be difficult in some instances to distinguish between metaphor and simile as literary devices.
