    Dickens’ novel expresses the theme of fate through metaphors in many different ways. These metaphors connect the fates of Dickens’ characters that intertwine in some way‚ whether they are aware of how they connect to each other or not.

The metaphor of water foreshadows the fates of Gaspard‚ the Marquis‚ and Madame Defarge. This metaphor is best described by Dickens when he says‚ “The

    In the story “The Emperor of the Air” Ethan Canin uses different images as metaphors for what is going on in his life. I think Canin uses the image of the insects eating and slowly killing the tree as a metaphor for the different issues eating at him in his life. The relationship with the tree mirrors or affects every other relationship he has in the story. Throughout the story‚ the narrator provides many issues that are eating at him‚ just like the insects that are eating and destroying the tree
