These are the performers of a job signified by the verb from which it is derived; they relate two things by comparison, one known and the other unknown. This is what we call in English "Metaphor". Metaphors are used to help us understand the unknown because we use what we know in comparison with something we don't know to get a better understanding of the unknown.
The purpose of quoting similes is to explain and elaborate information facilitating the reader to conveniently perceive and understand it comprehensively. Metaphors are employed to let reader have a general idea and perception about an unknown abstract reality and phenomenon. Using similes and metaphors does not mean that the concept, abstract reality and phenomenon highlighted through them were earlier vague and undefined in absolute sense. Level of information, intellect and understanding of men varies. Explanation and elaboration through Similes and metaphors help make perceptions explicit.
Metaphor comes from the Greek word meaning "I carry with"; and is a rhetorical figure used to "carry" the meaning of a word into another. Allegory comes from the Greek (to speak something different), as it expresses a concept using a different word. Contrary to metaphor, however, the shift of the meaning is often deep and hidden.
