“Metaphor” means “language”, “language means “metaphor”. Metaphor actually leads a secret life around us and although we are not aware, we are talking about six metaphors per minute. Metaphoric thinking not only helps us to know ourselves and others but also is an extremely important and necessary tool to understand how we communicate, how we learn, how we discover and invent. Therefore, metaphor is a way of thinking rather than a way of speaking and it is also a way of seeing to perceive the environment and events experienced. Especially, conceptual metaphors and image diagrams are essential elements of metaphoric thinking that makes a hidden comparison between two things that share common features. Moreover, metaphors as literary-scientific constructions are the reflection of an era, a culture, an environment and expresses the activities and thoughts of those who use them. Even though this is not the main intention, the metaphor captures an intellectual climate and it is actually a form of memory itself. Thus, metaphors that make language and life miraculous and make the possibilities of language unlimited are the only way to understand one's self, the life and the other. Metaphors, which are highly creative, can be much more functional and impressive in literary works established with a superior language. In this study, after giving information about the definition and conceptual field of metaphor that has unlimited power and influence and that transforms the pen into a magical wand in the hands of the author or poet, its function in literature will be evaluated and concretized with the examples from Classical Turkish literature.
