The first picture simply presents the scheme of analogy and identifies the theme and the phoros.
(2) Superior and Inferior Terms
The second image shows the alternative way of grouping the terms of analogy.
The third image shows a metaphor with its tenor and vehicle labeled. That’s a pretty boring picture, but it allows us to include the implied analogy that accompanies metaphor. You can also see that the superior terms have an element from both the theme and phoros.
The final picture shows allegory as it was defined through analogy and metaphor. It’s just the two main elements of metaphor aligned differently. There’s only two pairs here, but of course there could be many more.
