Author’s note: I am writing this to show figurative language being used in the poem Mother to Son by Langston Hughes.
There is only one example of figurative language. That example is a metaphor. The metaphor is found at both the start and the finish of the poem where she relates life to a crystal staircase. She relates life to a crystal staircase to show that no matter what no one’s life is perfect and pretty like a crystal staircase because every life has its ups and downs.
