A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. For example, 'she is the apple of my eye'. That's another way of saying, she's all I really care about, no one else but her. Symbolism is the use of symbols to represent ideas or qualities. For example, a heart. A heart is a symbol for love. Right when you see a heart shape you instantly think the heart has to do with love. Now if you see an actual heart that belongs in a humans body it just simply means an organ that you need in order to be alive.
