It is true that everyone thinks differently and sees the world in different perspective, so that is why metaphors are part of our lives. Metaphors give us the opportunity to think what we want, instead of just coming right out and say it. In the Article a teacher is asked a question about metaphors in "Hamlet" and why he used them. The teacher did an experiment with their students to why was Denmark compared to a prison. The teacher took out the word "prison" and asked the students to describe the word. Surprisingly, many students answered differently, but all connected to the same chain of emotion.
