    Explanation: The title "an idle fellow" is an example of a metaphor. A metaphor is a figure of speech used to describe words or phrases that refer to something that is not, invoking a direct similarity between the word or phrase used and the thing described. A metaphor may be changed into a Simile, and also into plain language containing neither metaphor nor simile.
