metaphor with its tenor and vehicle in double parallelism

metaphor with its tenor and vehicle in double parallelismDefinition: This refers to a unique form of metaphor where both the tenor (the thing being described) and the vehicle (the thing used to describe) are presented in a double parallel structure.Explanation: In this construction, the relationship between the tenor and vehicle is not only metaphorical but also strengthened through parallelism. It creates a more vivid and structured way of expressing ideas. For example, in the phrase 'Time is a thief, stealing moments of our lives; Memories are treasures, hoarded in the chests of our minds.' Here, 'time' and'memories' are tenors, while 'thief' and 'treasures' are vehicles, and they are presented in parallel to enhance the metaphorical meaning.
