Metaphor is simply defined as a comparison between objects or people or places.
Examples:
1. Life is a roller coaster. It implies lots of ups and downs in life.


Irony is defined as a contrast between expectations and realities in a circumstance. Irony does not need to be mocking or insulting as sarcasm. It is also not necessarily a comparison like metaphor.
