A simile is a metaphor that admits it’s making a comparison. Similes tend to make you think; metaphors let you feel things directly.

Metaphor in frankenstein
This flash game demonstrates a metaphor in Frankenstein. Because the monster is made up of parts from many people, it comes out as a good soul which is neither good nor evil. The monster could have become good because if Victor had made the monster with any body parts from evil people, he will have also included parts from good people. This created a neutral being, which Frankenstein was. So he was very easy to be changed morphed and influenced. Unfortunately, because of the way that Victor handled the monster it turned out to be influenced by the bad in life.
