One metaphor in "The Way of the World" would be contracts or promises. Marriage and fidelity are both major themes. A marriage contract symbolizes love, trust, and loyalty, but the breaking of the vows which make this contract binding are an important concern.
Epigram:
"You couldn't stick your foot out without touching a poet's backside." (Page 280)
