Abstract
Abstract. This article explores the vital role of metaphors in English and
American literature, tracing their evolution, functions, and enduring impact. From early
works to contemporary pieces, metaphors enrich texts, offering layers of meaning and
symbolism. Drawing from diverse influences, writers use metaphors to convey the
complexities of the English, American experience and address social issues. As English
and American literature evolves, metaphors remain essential, connecting past and
present while illuminating the human condition.
