In general a metaphor is just a way to think about a subject from a different angle, or to find a vivid way of expressing some idea, however, metaphor is often an exaggeration. If you say, for example, that some obese person is a whale, that is a metaphor and also an exaggeration since even the most obese person does not weigh as much as a whale.
