Analogy: A similarity or comparison between two different things or the relationship between them. The comparison is often between two things in which the complex is explained in terms of the simple, or somthing unfamiliar is associated with something more familiar. The comparison suggests that if the two things are alike in certain respects, they will probably be alike in other ways as well.
"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet..."
(Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare, Lines 43-44)
This quote is an anology because it's saying how a rose even if it'c called something else it will still smell the same. The same thing happens when she is talking about Romeo's last name. Even if he is called a "Montague" or whatever name. She will still love him no matter what.
