Metaphor: Poetic Connotation in LU Xun′s Novels

Narrative literature believes that metaphor and metonymy are two ways used to produce two different kinds of teats. And they can both be used to distinguish between poetry and prose.It is generally thought that poetry is metaphorical while prose is metonymical. However, this is not always fixed. In those lyric writings, the writer always fixes. In those lyric writings, the writer usually uses melaphors to create poetic connotation in order to strengthen poetry writings. Lu Xun, in his novels, especially in those self analysis ones, uses lots of metaphors to create images. And it is the use of metaphors that makes those novels embody rich poetic connotation and shows strong lyric characteristics.
